Bill, I agree with half of what you're saying. It is important to be involved in those discussions but only with a the tried and tested methods of our current rules.
The restart is a perfect example, our reset works, so does half court. Personally I prefer ours but do not see the rest of the world adopting it so I think it's sensible that London adapts to half court so that we are aligned. You had a point based on our actual rules which you made well and in a considered manner.
The ban bike to bike rule you suggest is not something that we've even tried let alone agreed on in out own community. As such, I do not think you should have brought it into these recommendations to Kev.
I appreciate that you were providing information as an individual but it would be too easy for our North American counterparts to assume, through no fault of their own, that we already play by these rules. It would be even more likely that it would be accepted as truth if they were aware of your position as LHBPA chair.
Unfortunately with your position these things have to be taken into consideration as the LHBPA has already received enough opposition for lack of transparency, acting on your own or not this could still be seen as a reflection on the association.
