Re: Game Manual - Team UPDATE - 2014-03-18

I am really concerned about the new wording of G12. Maybe it will cut down on the number of Technical Fouls, but it seems like they could hand out a Foul for every time that your opponents' ball touches you.
If the the criteria for a Foul includes "unintentional and inconsequential" infractions, then that opens the floodgates. It negates the qualifiers for intentional possession like "desired location" and "overt isolation or holding."
The combination of the definitions + the new Foul qualification for "unintentional and inconsequential" actions + the Blue Box make for a confusing set of rules that can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. I expect that some Refs are going to start handing out Fouls like candy and the defensive game will have to completely change since the Ball becomes a Foul button.
