The refs have definitely stopped calling it. Not officially eliminated thoughI thought the "5 seconds closely guarded" rule was already eliminated? Am I wrong?
The foul rule would stop coaches from sitting players with 2 fouls in the first half. I wish all coaches didn't do that automatically already, but if this is what it takes to make it stop then I'll take itLane to 16 feet will help teams that don't rely on the 3pt shot.
I agree the foul and TO rules are too complicated. Most players are taken out in the first half if the get two fouls and all sit with 3 so this makes no sense. Resetting team fouls at 10:00 is just playing 4 quarters so do that like the women's game. I'm fine with eliminating the 1 and 1, that really only affects one or two fouls per half as most fouls are shooting fouls anyway.
TO's can be 2 plus 1 30 sec use or lose in each half for a max of 4. There are enough TV timeouts already.
I don't like the goaltending rule, it allows, well, goaltending for any shot that isn't a swish Technically, it would allow blocking such shots back through the bottom of the rim.
I also don't like the elimination of the 10 backcourt rule, if you want to allow advancing the ball on a TO, that's fine. You need to allow some way for the defense to catch up at the end of games.
I am all for eliminating the end of game parade to the FT line, but you would lose the variance associated with good vs poor FT shooting teams. Kentucky might have actually had a chance in 2014 with this rule on place.

This is so dumb and they should just go to quarters.So why not make it easy and just make it four 10 minute quarters?
So, if a team has four fouls and commits the fifth foul with 10:01 remaining in the half, it's two FT's. But if they commit the same foul 2 seconds later at 9:59 remaining it's a throw in??
Lane to 16 feet will have the opposite effect and will make the college game even more like the NBA. The NBA and college both have to do things to encourage less threes and encourage more post play.Lane to 16 feet will help teams that don't rely on the 3pt shot.

The goaltending rule was only for offensive basket interference.Lane to 16 feet will help teams that don't rely on the 3pt shot.

Old school big East. Nice.Rules should be streamlined - instead of limiting number of timeouts under a certain time left in the game, give each team 2 or 3 TO's per half. Make them worthwhile.
Go to 6 fouls to combat bad officiating
"Yeah, lets split the half into two equal sections! Is there a name for that? And let's really muddy up the flow of the game with all these strange qualifications on when and how a player fouls out! We're so innovative."
-The NCAA, probably
I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Having 5 fouls forces coaches to make decisions and other players to step up. It's not often that someone fouls out. With 6 it'll never happen. At that point why even count (sarcasm)? And with all those extra fouls, the game may even slow down a bit, especially in the late 2nd half.The foul rule would stop coaches from sitting players with 2 fouls in the first half. I wish all coaches didn't do that automatically already, but if this is what it takes to make it stop then I'll take it
Preach. The number of sub-college level players, coaches, and parents that think all spin moves are legal because they don't call it in college or the NBA is infuriating. The high school rules are clear: lift your pivot foot and put it back down, it's a travel. They just choose to not call it in college because those plays are entertaining to watch. In the NBA, it's a legal move. Explaining this to players, coaches, and parents is like talking to a wall.Excuse me.
I’m just here to dunk on the part about traveling on page 2.
This is a clear admission I was correct about the euro step in college game.
It officially makes college more like the NBA rather than just having incompetent refs
