Six fouls?

[Bball Girl]

Voepel: We are discussing on press row how much officiating can affect games and wondering if six fouls per player would be a better system.

What do y'all think? Given the physical nature of the game...would 6 fouls be better or would it encourage even more physical play?

[40ishHorn]

I don't like it. Will slow the game down more and make it even more physical in my opinion.

[Dale8R]

Same thing, don't like it.

I don't know what Gary Blair would do with 7 to 10 more fouls to use per game. :D

Voepel has more thoughts...

Former Florida and Ole Miss coach Carol Ross, who's now an assistant with the Atlanta Dream, was doing TV commentary last week for the SEC tournament and suggested the radical idea of eliminating DQ's for fouls all together. Of course, being a fellow radical, I like the idea. In fact, I've ALWAYS thought that, but I know I'm in, like, 1 percent of the population. (If that). And I know people could find a million things wrong with it, and it won't happen in a million years. Just throwing it out there. I like seeing the best players play, not sit.

How bout robots....

more from Voepel on this issue

Incidentally, there is no chance that they will ever go to no DQs for fouls. That's just me (and Carol Ross) yacking. See, I also want actual robots for refs, total emotionless ones who can't be influenced by the crowd or the situation. Except not robots like Rosie on "The Jetsons" ...she was just way too human-like. :) Plus, I love the idea of Gary Blair arguing with a robot.

How bout Kim arguing with a bot?
