Request For: Pro and College Basketball
Request Title: Non-passing turnovers
Description
In basketball, could we add the 10 second rule, 5-second closely guarded rule, traveling, and goaltending?
These don't necessarily have to be "new" turnovers above what we already have. It could be a small fraction of turnovers when facing full-court press produce 10-second violations. A small fraction of traps result in 5-second closely guarded calls. A small number of drives with a bad pass result in travelling.
For goaltending, which is against the defense, maybe this could be a small percentage of shots that are in the paint which are very well-defended but good.
(I'm trying to think about how to add this into the game without messing up the current balance. Everything here would be very small ... say, 0.1% of current results .. but it's still enough that you see it from time to time. It would add a little of variety of the PbP.)

Admin Notes
Given the infrequency of these plays, I would rather not include them. Goaltending could be incorporated for play-by-play purposes, but would just turn a made basket into a goaltending call and the same result.
.
The sorts of travels that get called are currently in the game as turnovers, as are the clock violations.
