I will write in similar tone that I wrote in the post about two points line. People like when teams play 3 up, people like when teams play offensively. It is extremely hard to play 3 up against team that barely move on position 2 and 3, and even harder when position 1 is defending closer to the net. Space is too small for anything, especially passes. You don’t even try to pass because probability of lucky bounce or interception is very very high. What you then try to do is:
- create more space by reset (but I’ve already seen a proposal to limit it: Onsides rule. )
- create more space by “ripping” - you try to find an opener and rip this way you try to show the other team “if you will not come closer to the ball carrier, one of the rips will come in” and we will get that rebound if you won’t move or we will get ball if it bounce out of the court
This rule is just encouraging people to play lower and more defensive. More rules like this less 3 up, less passes etc.
