GOAL-HI

WITH PENALTY BOX PROVISION

There has been much dissatisfaction among coaches with
the personal foul rule in Basketball. This new game with
the penalty box provision is an attempt of the author to find
a solution to the problem of curtailing personal fouling.
The special arrangement of Goal-Hi with a single basket,
lends itself to a much better defense because the team
which has lost players through penalty can quickly aggre-
gate themselves around a circular basket, thus thwarting the
drive of the team with a superior member. It is true that the
outer court is open for longer shots; but this is one of the
purposes of Goal-Hi, to encourage longer shooting from
the outer court as a player making a goal from that area
scores three points.

Officials

The officials shall be the same as in the official Goal-Hi
game, except for the addition of an assistant timekeeper
who shall have charge of the penalty box.

Rules

The rules for this game shall be exactly the same as the
rules for the official Goal-Hi game, with the following ex-
ception: There shall be no free throws for personal or
technical fouls in this game, however, fouls are called on the
offending player, according to the rules governing the official
Goal-Hi game. The referee shall order the offending player
to the penalty box for one minute duration. The assistant
timekeeper shall have control of the penalty box and after
sixty seconds the offending player shall be sent back into
the game by the assistant timekeeper without notifying the
referee, and the game proceeds in the usual manner.

If a player is disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct or
unnecessary roughness and must leave the game, after one
minute: and thirty seconds a substitute may be sent into
the game to take his place.
