Death of the charge

[white65]

I hate to see these new rules. I know it really goes against our tough defensive style. But that's not the main reason. Instead of making college basketball more entertaining, it's now like a pre-school league where Dads called that fouls. imo college basketball ratings will slowly decline starting this year.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

lol they arent going to decline

Trying to get more scoring.
Will sell more tickets in their opinion.
Right now, just getting more fouls.

Forget which one it was, but saw 60 fouls in one game.
Ridiculous!

The few I seen neither team could get into a flow. Hopefully, teams can adjust as the season go on.

I like it. Some great plays happen when when a perimeter player drives the lane hard to score and this rule encourages more of that.

Slower, more free throwing games too.

What are the new rule changes? I heard about them but I forgot the specifics.

Basically no contact with guards outside the paint, they want wings and guards to be able to drive much easier.

Yea no arms bars and no 2 hands, as soon as a second hand touches offensive player it's supposed to be a foul now from my understanding.

I guess the changes are somewhat similar to NBA rules. I know that you can't hand-check. We are going to see a lot of fouls early on while teams adjust to the changes.

Or they could learn how to shoot, but forget actual skill or anything

The rules may be similar but the NBA allows a lot more contact.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Its possible that if there is less handchecking and more attacking the rim, there may be more chances.

Taking a charge is not basketball.

 

[Voldemonium]

Apparently they implemented these rules in the women's game as well. I saw about 60 foul calls last night when the Lady Vols took on UNC. I don't like it. I wish the rules committees would just leave the game alone. Quit trying to make it "better for tv." Don't change it just cause kids today don't value the intermediate jump shot.

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's supposed to increase scoring it isn't working in the VA game.

If they are trying to make the game more like the NBA they are making a huge mistake. The pro game is horrid, nobody plays defense they save themselves for offense.

Agreed. Really disliking the amount of whistles I'm hearing from the refs right now..

I love the "new rules". They are actually the original rules. They open up the floor so that they can play real basketball, not football.
