NBA Rule Changes That Need to Happen

[@peyondi]

1. Fiba rules is a must, it is just so boring to see good players not get credit for their great defensive capabilities (at the point where they won't even try to stop someone so we just see a back and forth 3s shootout) 2. Do something about the length of the game, it has become a chore to see a 1min shot clock game last 20mins of real time adding to it the timeouts, fouls (and the time till they actually start with their FT) 3. Make a VAR style reviewing system like in football where the ref doesn't lose time reviewing and getting the wrong calls plus it'd be much quicker This would actually sky rocket the viewership and not make the games feel like hard to watch

[@peyondi]

Plus for us international fans it would be great if the weekend games that started early actually start from friday, so a 3 day early game NBA schedule would be really nice

Yea I LOVE that idea! It actually gives home team an advantage for once, you know given that they would tailor the court to what their players are best at. If teams could have control of the 3pt line and the size of the paint, it would be so interesting to watch teams play in different arenas. Teams with defensive shot blocking bigs like gobert and wemby could shrink the painted area so that their defensive anchors are closer to the basket.

Limiting the number of 3-pointers per game would force teams to use them more strategically, focusing on mid-range and paint play early, saving 3s for key moments. It’d also cut down on fast-break players settling for 3s instead of taking easy layups.

[@VinceLyle2161]

I love it. What's your number for 3's per game?

[@BestxBelieve]

@@VinceLyle2161 That's a tough one. The league really needs to consider how the new changes will impact how teams are built and which ones will become stronger or weaker. Take Dallas, for example. They signed Klay Thompson for $50 million, but if the game shifts away from the 3-point heavy style, they could be in trouble since Klay’s primarily a spot-up shooter and there would be less floor spacing. Similarly, teams like the Timberwolves, who will be heavily reliant on players like Rudy Gobert, might see a drop-off. What once looked like a potential conference finalist could easily find themselves struggling to even make the play-in tournament.

[@VinceLyle2161]

@@BestxBelieve Good points. What about twenty? That's ten per half per team. You'd see coaches calling plays for them.

I really think better officiating would do wonders. A huge benefit people don’t talk about is the fact when you drive, if you’re a star in the league you’re most likely getting a call so the game stops, you get an and 1 or free throw opportunity. The contact or lack of contact is so freaking frustrating. However, I’m a suns fan and I see Book, Beal, KD (few of the last mid range guys) fight through contact on midrange shots and get no calls. I’m starting to get frustrated at them for taking that shot because they can get hit and throw off the shot with no call

The problem that is often overlooked with shooting all of these three-pointers is that let's say for example, a team went 14 of 40. Out of those 26 misses 10 to 15. Of them were easy two-point field goals that were passed up for a worse percentage 3 point attempt

[@lucast2742]

What you fail to understand, shooting those less efficient 3s is actually good on a meta game perspective, ie: stretch the floor + conditionning defenses

[@ry_an.]

3 pointers stretch the defense. If ball 5 guys can shoot the three their gravity alone opens up the floor. The math says that 3 pointers provide more points per possession than 2s unless you’re an elite inside scorer

[@LeapingRat]

My ideas are drastic but i think they would work Regular season wins earn points and decide playoff seeding. 4 games against each team in division and 2 against everyone else (with 32 teams that would be 66 games total, more rest for players so they play a higher percentage of games and less filler games that drag out the season for the fans) Each win is 3 points. +1 point against conference opponents. +2 against division opponents. Losses dont add or subtract points. In season tournament is 6 games to decide seeding (2 games vs each team in division, so high points at stake.). Then single elimination playoff of every winner in each division where the nba cup winner gets the “crown”. Crown holder gets +1 extra point for every win and teams that beat the crown holder get an extra point. This incentivizes teams to win the tournament as it affects playoff seeding. They also get the massive cash payout too. This would brew rivalries and put more stakes on games and can be advertised as such (this PLATINUM TIER game has 6 points on the line) All star game should lean into fun rotating formats to experiment with weird rules to see how they work out. 4 pt line. Missed 3s subtract a point. Fiba rules. Every 3 made pushes the line further back with LED court, Defensive stops subtracting a point etc. If not that, then the winner of the game awards their conference +1 extra points per win vs opposing conference which would help decide home court advantage in the finals. Winner of nba finals gets takes the crown and starts next season with it.

[@xdean6699]

The reason why there's so many points is because offense has evolved to the point that the defense cant keep up thanks to the rules. To keep up with the offense, the rules should allow defense to be able to stop said offense. 1. CALL ILLEGAL SCREENS - the amount of illegal screens not being called is stupid. This will help lessen the amount of not just 3pters but points in general 2. Allow more physical off ball and on ball defense - bring back hand checking - If someone wants to get to a good position inside before receiving the ball, they have to fight for position inside by boxing out their opponent. 3. Less Fouls - defenders should be allowed to block a player's path if they do not have the ball. - if your block merely touches the shooter's hand, it's not a foul. Only call it if its the arm or body. - STOP CALLING TECHNICAL FOULS. As a ref, its part of your job to IGNORE/DEAL WITH THE COMPLAINING THE PLAYERS DO. only start calling technicals if they become so aggressive like running at you or if they touch you (holding, blocking your way, etc.) The FIBA rules that allow defenders to camp the paint is also pretty good. Add that with better on -ball and off-ball defense and the nba will be more competitive again.

two things i didn't know this video taught me 1. three point line is actually shorter distance from the basket in the corner than at the top 2. baseball fields are literally different and teams actually strategize their teams around that (what the hell)

[@dacloffeblack]

So one of the biggest problems with the game today - according to most people - is that the players are shooting too many threes. And the answer to that is to create a 4pt line? Make it make sense

[@jojothepolyglot1866]

Naahh! The sweet idea would be make maximum 3pt shots 40 per team! Regulated like the time outs a team can have. Each team gets 40 and decides how they distribute them on each Quarter. Trust me teams will think twice before they let just anyone take 3s....After your 40 shots are over you are done so you get all your points the tradition 2pts or Free throws. There....I fixed it!

[@dacloffeblack]

1. Increase active players to 6 per team instead of 5. 2. Extend the court dimensions with variable min/max sizes to give home teams a strategic advantage, similar to soccer. 3. Reduce playoff spots from 10 to 6 or 8 to increase competition and discourage coasting through the season. 4. Schedule NBA games only on weekends; too many midweek games dilute quality. 5. Hold NBA Cup games separately on weekdays, outside regular-season matches. The NBA should take cues from European soccer's structure and strategy.

Add a 1 pt line within 5 ft from the basket for example. Now all shot are worth about the same when you account for percentages. You get your jump shots back, and each team can play a unique style of offense given their team strengths.

1v1 free throws and overtime = highest ratings ever

[@kuruptflip21]

The way fantasy awards players 3 points for a steal or block should be applied to today’s NBA. It will emphasize defensive natured players and will change the way offences would be executed to avoid interceptions during careless ball movement. Ultimately it would slow the game down and would keep the audiences attention for longer spans. Essentially a team would lose 3 points for having a shot blocked or a possession stolen. The counting stats for steals and blocks would accumulate the same way in the box score.

[@WesR7009]

Great video. No one wants to disrupt the game in an extreme way, but something needs to change.

[@petrospoulos8298]

People love to claim there's no defense in this era. Funny I don't remember having to guard anyone 40 feet from the basket in the 90s. I think there needs to be a line behind the 3 point line that decreases the value back to 2.

[@CiscoCal]

Removing the corner 3 sounds good to me, nice video 👍👍

[@LocalHobo631]

I think an interesting change would be that teams are only allowed to take a certain number of 3’s per game like 35. Which is plenty but especially in clutch game situations 3’s might need to be conserved for absolutely essential situations instead of being free to chuck up whenever. Another one I heard and found interesting was if your team misses a certain amount of 3’s in a row, like 3-4 and your team actually loses points like 1-2

[@timskaggs3762]

Interesting ideas! Cool video. I’m not down with the 4-pointer either though.

[@ak_leo7624]

To make the Nba more watchable is easy. Take away power from players and give it to coaches. Make the players sweat for their money instead of missing so many games. more physicality allowed in rules would actually improve perimeter defense and therefore decrease importance of 3s

[@jacobdaly9116]

Love the way you painted a good night gambling with the fam 💯

[@yanncourtel8538]

I like some rules changes you propose. Anything though that is not 5v5 bball will and should not happen (1v1 or bringing the coach) I like the substitution rule, given you MUST stay behind the line before you enter in order to do the substitution. Check out team handball, they have these rules and it's really fun to watch. You've got defensive specialist only coming for games and only defensive / transition players. I think one of the issue is the defense is not valued in the rules as it should. Allowing hand checking is a start. They should go further and change the fouling system: 1) Any foul is not 2 free throw unless you are in a realistic position to shoot. 2) The foul don't add up which means you can foul how many times you want in a game. (because why penalize players that are playing hard) 3) A foul that is excessive or anti-sport is 1 free throw and 30 seconds temporary exclusion. (a technical would be an anti-sport foul) 4) A flagrant 1 is 1 minute temporary exclusion and 2 free throw. (no keeping the possession) 5) A flagrant 2 is an def temporary exclusion with 2 free throw. (no keeping the possession) 6) 4 excessive foul OR 2 flagrant 1 would result in a flagrant 2. 7) A foul, for instance, in front of the player would just be in-bouding the ball from where you want to help the offense get set. 8) A foul in transition essentially preventing an easy basket will be considered an excessive foul. (otherwise players would be fouling intentionally in transition to break a play) I think that would force team to play harder on defense. What do you think?

[@Dracula666_]

The substitution idea is amazing. Like I really love it

[@akaraven66]

Corner threes are harder to hit because you don't have the backboard to either bounce off, or to use as a reference point when you take the throw.

[@andrewfinnigan]

I don’t know why this hasn’t mentioned yet, but here’s my idea: Cap the amount of 3’s teams can attempt in a game. I don’t know what the right cap would be, but if it were, say, 32 (8 per quarter max) then teams would have to strategize more. That would also bring back actual strategy and team-oriented basketball. I mean, if they aren’t going to play defense, capping 3’s might be the next best bet.

[@Thecatdad007]

I think it would be better to cap the amount they can make per quarter rather than take. And that the next three made above the cap actually just counts as a 2.

[@AR-rg2en]

I don't like limiting the game like this

[@colem2345]

Dude... A dunk for 3 points is actually the most amazing idea I've ever heard to help change/improve the game. Also, every team having their own unique court like MLB would also be FREAKIN AWESOME!!! That would be insane!

[@Ddworld134]

[@marsspacex6065]

Allow only one corner to have the 3 point line and each team decides which side it is. This makes it much easier to defend that one corner and you can ignore the other corner.

[@MrE_]

1. Allow more physical defense and allow incidental defensive contact if it doesn't affect the shot 2. Aggressive technicals for even minimal flopping 3. Aggressive travel and carry violations 4. Purposeful fouls are also technical fouls (stop prolonging end of games with boring free-throws) And off the court rules: 1. Player contracts must have a per game clause, you don't play you don't get paid, with limited PTO for sick and rest days 2. A referree representative must be interviewed at end of games 3. Contracts have to have a penalty for initiating trades (if the player asks for a trade, part of their salary is non-garanteed. if a team initiated the trade for their player, they have to pay the difference non-garanteed amount to the player)

[@SimplyArchieTV]

I don't know if u heard about the PBA league in Philippines they change a lot of rules.. Although we they have 4 point shot they change some rules about TIME OUT.. Like players cannot call time out anymore like loose ball and players scarmbling to get the ball and if someone get it and wants to call time out to secure the possession it's not allow anymore.. Same in inbound possession if a player cannos pass the ball they will call time out not allow anymore. The simple reason for the PBA to implement this rule is to reward the opponent team for doing a good defense 🏀

[@InkIsPink]

coach tech free-throw would be kinda cool 😂

[@KA-oq6ih]

The viewership isn’t down. The only problem is that they can’t count viewers that watch the game through streams or other undocumented ways. The solution would be to stop charging people and arm and leg to watch and support their favorite team. Even with the NBA League pass being as expensive as it is…. Your home team games are blocked out.

[@dimitarzhorov1197]

Hi! I am from Bulgaria and I like the content very much! Each game should be devided into 5 parts, each part of 10 minutes and winning every part will bring 1 point. Not the same, but something like tennis and volleyball. Imagine 5 clutches per game, 5 buzzer shots... And if a team loses 1 part, it always can come back in the next. At the end of the regular season, the maximun points won by a team would be 82x5=410. In the play-offs the rule of winning will be exactly as in tennis in the Grand Slam tournaments. And the 90 degree 3 pointer should be removed.

[@ReginaGraceGines]

The interior paint could be smaller but if a player scores inside that paint its 3pointer . Just to counter high volume 3pts. So that we can see more fastbreaks and post seals.

[@MrSheduur]

Fiba style would be a sensible change that also finally aligns basketball worldwide. This also needs to go along with making the court slightly smaller, as it is everywhere else in the world, which in turn also helps defenses against the 3pt shot because defenders will be having shorter distances to close out on shooters. And the drives will not be met with zero resistance either.

[@lostdomi42]

1. Two of the FIBA rules: hand-checking and defensive seconds 2. One or two less timeouts

[@lenzoltan]

Bad idea it would give more power to referees to determine who wins. Hand checking is not allowed in FIBA rules FIBA Official Basketball rules If contact caused by a player in any way restricts the freedom of movement of an opponent, such contact is a foul. Illegal use of the hand(s) or extended arm(s) occurs when the defensive player is in a guarding position and his/her hand(s) or arm(s) is placed upon and remains in contact with an opponent with or without the ball, to impede his/her progress. To repeatedly touch or 'jab' an opponent with or without the ball is a foul, as it may lead to rough play.

[@marvelguy8101]

Here are some rules that would make a difference: 1. No fouling out of games. Who cares if a guy has ten fouls? A foul is a foul is a foul. A guy with 8 fouls isn't suddenly going to start tackling players. He's going to play like he always does. If he fouls, the other team will get free-throws. As it stands, how many times have we been robbed of a huge game when a star player "gets in early foul trouble" and has to go to the bench? Why would we let a ref's whistle determine who plays in the biggest games? Shouldn't the best players be playing all the time? Get rid of fouling out. For that matter, whoever came up with this ridiculous rule? 2. Only the person holding the ball can call a timeout. No more committee of coaches on the sidelines holding clipboards calling timeout. It's up to the player who has the ball to call timeout. This would create more drama, which is a good thing. 3. Which leads to the next rule . . . a timeout can only be called when there is no defensive pressure being applied. Gone are the days of a guy getting trapped in the corner, then calling timeout. We don't let quarterback call timeout when a lineback blitzes. Why penalize an NBA team's good defense by letting a guy call timeout when in trouble? If pressure is being applied, you have to play your way out of the situation. This is equally true when a team is trying to inbound the ball. If the defense is applying full-court defense to steal the inbounds pass, the player passing the ball in can no longer escape by caling timeout. He must get the ball in play. Again, we're letting the players on the court decide the game, not the scholarly coaches. 4. Referees cannot eject a player from the game unless a player commits an act of physical violence (such as an actual punch or an assault). No ejections for back-talking. This way, the refs lose a lot of power. The league is certainly allowed to suspend or discipline a player who abuses this right, but the refs no longer can toss a guy because he says something the ref doesn't like. 5. Technical fouls are eliminated completely, except for violent fouls. A referee cannot give out a technical foul because the coach said something about his momma, or a player makes a snide remark. Gone are the days of Chris Paul getting teed-up by a ref who is overly-sensitive. 6. No timeouts in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. Let the players figure it out what to do at the end of the game. This prevents the endless sessions of coaches drawing up plays at the end of the game. Also, it allows for continuous play. 7. If a player is fouled in a non-shooting situation, the team can decline the free-throws and select to be given a free inbounds pass, if they choose. In this situation, it would be like a fair-catch. The defense would have to give the player receiving the inbounds pass a five-foot cushion. The 24-second clock would be reset. This causes more time to burn off the clock, and prevents the opposing team fouling the weakest free-throw shooter. It also prevents the end-of-the-game free-throw-a-thon. But what if a team is down by 4 with 12 seconds left? They must steal the ball, or lose. Simple as that.

Watching 3s all game is boring as hell. My favorite team is Boston and I stopped watching them. A second big thing is constant breaks. A couple of days ago I tuned in to watch the Bucks vs the Pacers and 5 seconds in they went into an ad, so I watched something else for a few minutes and came back, again, a few seconds after there is another break, so I watch something else for a few minutes, then tuned back in, literally 3 possessions later there is a phantom coach's challenge where the other team's coach stepped onto the court and that's an automatic time-out which he didn't mean to take, he just thought that a coach's challenge got called by the other team and you can't reverse it, another mandatory ad break. That did it for me.

The elam ending is better than a 5 minute overtime. It was implemented in summer league. Very fun and realistic.

[@nichodemus10]

The first rule to change should be going over the team foul limit. If you commit a non shooting foul over the limit, the player fouled gets 1 shot, and their team keeps the ball. Eliminate games ending with free throw contests, and never have the best defensive play be to foul instead of play defense. (Like when you are up 3 with less than 20 seconds left).

All the realistic rules are really good!! We are obsessed with scoring. More points is not better makes scoring less exciting, and makes players that score well less valuable and defenders less valuable.
