UKCats Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Does anyone know the history behind why the offense is played at the opposite end of the floor from the bench in the first half and the same end as their bench in the second half? If I were coaching I think I would rather have my defense closer to me in the 2nd half. If there is no "REAL" reason then maybe they should make it an optional rule. Kind of like a home team advantage where the home team gets to decide what end of the floor they use first.
AggiesAreWe Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 May have to do with late game scenarios where you want to make sure you communicate timeouts and play calling. Also, I would think that not having the opposing bench at the end of the court where you are shooting important free throws my be a part of it too.Who really knows?I would like for some coaches to comment on this as well.
