Worst rule EVER...

[Baca Loco]

The rule does only apply on major penalties--which is fine in theory, but the difference between a minor and a major seems to be an ever shifting one as the officials frequently can't decide what sort of penalty to call when they call one.

In my opinion they should call more minors and fewer majors. As it stands--at least in LA--they let lots of small calls slide completely and changed a half dozen or more minors into majors after having the minors posted.
The result is the players have no baseline of officiating to play by and it causes lots of unecessary aggravation.

Well as someone who has to deal with these runthrus and such on a regular basis it is a excellent rule!I had to throw the red flag at a player this past weekend in the Boston/Detriot game for with only 18 ticks left on the clock it was desperation time and the deed was done shot in the leg and chest the player ran by the x and into the back line of Boston firing madly i imidiatly threw my flag as he passed the x and i threw a player into the penelty box.I feel that it will keep the chaos at a minimum at the end of games and halfs.It is easy to say its a bad rule if you dont have to deal with reffing as a full time job.
