Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Original Thirteen Basketball Rules

James Naismith's Original Thirteen Rules for Basket. Ball were at auction back in 2010 starting at $2 million.  He typed them on a piece of paper and put them up in the gym.

Two of interest were

#6  A foul is striking a ball with a fist.

#7  If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponent.

I especially like the last one.  That would sure speed up the time it takes to play the last few minutes in a close college basketball game when the team behind commits foul after foul.
