What rule should replace or modify the "don't leave your bench" rule, or should it remain as is.
The "don't leave your bench rule if you are a player" rule is not fair because it was designed to stop violence from happening on the court. There are only 10 guys on the court, and about 5 or 6 players on each bench plus about 10 coaches and trainers etc. Why don't thay also make a dumb rule that if an altercation happens, all the players on the court should return to their benches, and anybody who doesn't will miss the next game? Why, because it doesn't make any sense just like the "don't leave your bench" rule. The rule I just made up, and the "bench" rule would be for the same purpose: to stop or limit on court violence. Horry should be gone for the rest of the series, in my opinion. Also David Stern should make a rule that actually makes sense like "any altercation that takes place during a game should be handled by the officials. Anybody, including coaches, players who were in the game at the time, and players on the bench, ANYBODY who comes in the way of distracting or preventing an official from clearing up the altercation should be suspended." That is how the rule should be stated next season. Isn't it the officials' job to keep law and order during any game of any sport? It is not the job of the coaches or istants to keep order, thier job is to COACH. In Major League Baseball, if a guy gets beaned, sometimes the dugouts and bullpens empty, literally (even the bat boys), onto the field, but NOBODY touches an umpire or they will be out the game within the next two seconds. You can argue with him all you want, but don't touch the man. In the NBA, if the intent of these guidelines and rules are to keep players away from an altercation, then the officials are the ones who should be protected by them, not the wood flooring on the court, because that's all this rule is doing, keeping the floor clean while the 10 guys involved in the game at the moment all converge to the scene and STILL outnumber, outsize, and overpower the officials. Protect the refs not the wood floor, D-Stern.
