NCAA Rule Changes

[Leebo]

According to Bilas earlier, the removal of the closely guarded 5 second rule only applies to dribbling, so you can still get called for 5 seconds while holding the ball and not moving if someone is on you.

One rule change I'd like to see implemented that was not mentioned is adding a 6th foul to ALL levels of men's and women's college basketball, similar to the NBA.
It will keep starters in the game longer, and change the rotation strategy of the coaches. I don't think it would be a bad thing for the college game.

The problem is the games are 8 minutes shorter than the NBA.

NCAA and NBA are already synched up on fouls per game.

5/40= 8
6/48= 8

From college to the pro's they each get one foul per eight minutes of play.

I really like FIBA's no basket interference. Players are so athletic these days it's a crime to restrict it.

Ah that makes more sense. But it still limits the effectiveness of trapping.

Edit: As pointed out above, with the shorter shot clock it actually makes a little more sense anyways. I personally would keep the rule as is but I'd rather get rid of it and get the 30 second shot clock.

 

[Leebo]

Yeah, so you won't see the refs doing the wide arm gesture anymore while the PG dribbles at half court.

 

[mets1090]

Saw this mentioned on the women's board, FIBA now has it so that after an offensive rebound the shot clock only resets to 14 seconds. The suggestion would be to have it only reset to 20 in college. I would be all for that.

UConn's 2004 championship can be credited to Calhoun outcoaching Krzyzewski by benching Emeka during foul trouble while Shelden Richardson and Shavlik Randolph were in foul trouble throughout the second half.

During tons of tournament games, Calhoun attacked the opponent's best player to limit their minutes (Derrick Williams in 2011, throughout the 2004 tournament).

Therefore, do not change the rule.

 

[BoatShow]

yeah thats what i meant the slapping the ball off the rim is a little ridiculous, players are also getting more and more athletic. I really wish there was a 3 sec violation call on defense in the ncaa though, not sure why that isn't a talking point.

That rule can wait til Brimah leaves.

 

[2Husky]

they should only give an extra foul if they go back to trying to call all the hand checking fouls to clean the game up. Of course the goal should be to not have players commit fouls in the first place. I also worry more allowed fouls will let teams hack a shaq, they would need a rule to prevent that.

Thatd be really good to see. So annoying when a team can kill over a minute on that.

"• Allowing only a total of 10 seconds to advance the ball to the front court (with a few exceptions)."

Would this eliminate the TO saving the O against good backcourt D?

@microfich @deedougie You might want to discuss this with @Gurleyman too...

 

[nomar]

making a timeout called within 30 seconds of a media timeout stand for the media timeout.

Where was this rule when Jim Calhoun was coaching?!?!

How many freaking times did he call a TO with 8:03 on the clock?

Resetting the ten second clock on TOs is so stupid.

all this is doing is covering up the problem, not fixing it...kids come in and dont know how to play... they cant shoot, they cant shoot free throws, and all they want to do is attack the rim... the basics and fundamentals are whats missing and what would fix the game

AND THEY WON'T KEEP OFF MY DAMN LAWN

 

[RichZ]

Also, disallowing timeouts in live ball situations is an interesting one. Not sure what the reasoning would be.

Not disallowing timeouts there. Just not allowing the bench to call them. Which is a good thing, IMO. Player with ball can still call TO.

 

[tzznandrew]

Really hope they pass the restriction on coaches call timeouts during live ball play. I hate that so much.

Can we get back that stupid Syracuse loss from 2011-2012 where Boeheim got that gifted TO.

Still frustrates me.

No. Not in a 40-minute game. It failed once, it will fail again.

Can someone explain the pre game dunking rule? Because I always see players dunking before the game so I am confused as to what exactly the rule is

It's a technical if dunking in the layup lines pregame with the refs on the floor I believe.

You can't dunk during any dead ball situation. If you saw it and it wasn't punished, it's because the refs weren't on the court yet. They have to be there to enforce it.
