And onto Paragraph 4:
Quote:

I know this proposal sounds a bit radical, but we are definitely going to have to make a major change in order to solve the stance issue. a) As we now play, a very large percentage of even the top pros foot-fault on almost every shot. If we were to [b] b) drop the warning for foot-fault, it would be a disaster. b) If we do nothing, the sport will start to lose credibility in the sports world, as more media and photo coverage will illustrate the laxity of our rules.

a) Really? It's exaggerating statements like these that diminish your entire credibility.
b) No need to drop the warning, simply call it out if it's obvious. If it's so close, then as we say, benefit goes to the player. If need be, pull the player aside, be genuine and sincere, and let the player know if you think his stances are very close to being called.
