Very informative officiating post -- appreciate the specificity in the points of emphasis. (Though I'm having trouble picturing an "arm bar.")
I'm in the minority (I presume) that doesn't like the implementation of the 10-second rule. I'd have preferred they eliminate the "over-and-back" penalty. Eliminate the significance of the center line altogether -- let the game be a 94-foot roadrace or crawl, within the confines of the shot-clock. There are plenty of strategic/coaching possibilities.
It's also a way for the women's game to be distinctive -- maybe even ahead of the curve (I wonder if that's where the NBA is headed by using 8 rather than 10 seconds in the back-court).
Might be a way to emphasize speed over physicality, too.
Side note/Pet Peeve:
It bugs me that the offense can in-bound a ball from the front-court into the back-court. Such a pass is not allowed when the ball is live; why is it permissible in this dead-ball situation? It doesn't seem fair to the defense.
