Orlando complaints

I hope so. I saw at least two plays Friday night that were called against the frontcourter making a great catch. Totally taking away one of the games top thrills. The screen is so thick, you can't see through it up close (see my photos on the NJAA site). I saw some angry fans in the crowd when the whistle was blown after a great catch. It's like telling a centerfielder he can't touch the wall going up to rob someone of a homerun. Sad.

While I'm at it, stop that stupid I-4 bet, it is too confusing, brings nothing to the game. Also - go back to the original shirt colors. It was impossible to tell what team was out there half the time.

If they are trying to make the game easy to understand for newcomers, these changes are not going to help at all.

And drop the wrist band nonsense - a hand stamp will work fine. Wrist bands are OK if you are at an outdoor rock concert and have VIP seats up front or something.

And on the program, make that "7" in points needed to win the game much smaller - it is larger than the game number being played! For exmaple, game 12 is listed with a huge 7, twice the size of the game number being played. When you scan through the program, all you see is the number "7" on the pages first. Keep thinking it was Game 7!
