Very cool, Lou.
I believe you and I were in the same career field.
Although the ones I worked on were slightly smaller and hung from the wings of B52's :smile:

ah yes, very cool, Koop. So you were with the BUFFs. Smaller system but still a very large pop.

3. The shot clock. I love the shot clock cause no one likes slow play. However, when it gets down to 5 seconds and the shot clock is going off with each second like Defcon 5 has just arrived, with this loud thunderous beeping, no one is going to be successfully be able to shoot under those conditions. The drunk English fans are a big enough distraction. One normal toned beep at 5 seconds remaining is good enough. If the player doesn't shoot then in 5 seconds or ask for an extension, so be it. Give the captain the right to call out extension as well so his player isn't charged a foul if he loses track of time. Put a shot clock(s) around the time in view for the players if it is that much of an issue as well.

I agree with the one beep at 5 seconds instead of the constant beeping. However, what would be the harm in having an auto-extension? Each player has 1 extension per match, so just allow the extension to be automatically implemented if the player goes over the time once per match (it's basically the same thing). The referee can notify the player that his extension has been used after the shot is complete and the next shot clock violation would be a foul.

i wish people would get off the "let them play on a 10 footer"

Did they change the height of the basketball rim, when Wilt the Stlit dominated the game?

Kind of a bad example because they did change the rules to implement 3 seconds in the paint. So no they didn't change the height of the rim but they did implement a new rule.
