Worst Rule in Basketball

[troy]

Allowing coaches to call timeouts during play- which allows coaches to bail out players who are about to turn the ball over, get a 10-second back court violation, or get a 5-second closely guarded violation.

I still say the worst is the one where referees have to judge whether a help defender is inside or outside of an imaginary arc that isn't allowed to be drawn on the court.

Good point.

Sounds like the announcers from the big ten tourney today????? Is that your opinion because it was Clark Kelloggs? Why should a coach not be able to call timeout? Nothing wrong with the rule, if they call the timeouts in those situations they will lose them for the end of the games. I think the jump ball rule is much worse.
