If basketball was more like football

[Flannerz]

I'm watching the Magic lose tonight and it's got be thinking about what football would be like if it was a bit more like basketball. The Magic are in turmoil as our best player wants the coach fired and the coach told the media this the other day. During the game at the end of the first quarter the coach was asked about this and during a timeout the General Manager was asked about it. Also as half time a player was interviewed.

Just imagine the bin dippers were playing and KKKenny was asked how the game was going when they were losing and Comolli was asked about his signings when a player was down injured, or if a player was pissed off with a bad decision and was interviewed when walking off at half time.

I apologise if this doesn't make sense or is rubbish as I've been drinking

It would be hilarious if there were sideline reporters constantly fucking with Kenny or Wenger during the game trying to get a quote.

They do it in the F.A. Cup on ITV. Pretty fucking annoying really, a team concedes and the manager says "oh yeah, that was poor defending from us there, I will have to sort that out"

But sometimes I guess it could be funny, especially winding up the right people (Mancini, the paedophile, Dalglish etc.)

That's the way it is mostly in basketball. No one ever says anything insightful, but it's good for some lols now and again

I've long maintained that pro-basketball needs an off-sides rule. It would be fucking hilarious to watch for at least a season or two of transition, and would put a lot of emphasis back on team play and defending.
