NCAA hoops rule change proposals

As an old timer, I remember attending games in the early 1920's and it's always been halves

Hate to see the change

I hate to ask, but I am within a month of being 83 and I have a fairly good memory from my early days which started around 1950. I am and never have been good at math (other than figuring interest), but I hope (1920) was a typo!!

Wow! I’m not sure if I’m more impressed that you’re 103 or that you’re that age and posting on VN. I think the second one.

My parents are in their 80’s and have never even learned to text! Very impressive that a centennial embraces technology.

Another thing I would change (though it has no bearing on " time") would be stopping coaches being able to use review time as a coaching time out. Have the teams stay at a corner totally away from their coaching sideline area. The same after a player fouls out. Coach has no right to take advanage of a mistake by one of his players. Just talk to the guy replacing the foul outer and move on quickly.

Well, with the reviews turning into TV timeouts it would be hard to make the teams stand away from the coaches for 3-4 minutes, but your point is valid. Lessening the amount of these momentum killing reviews is the only real answer, and while it sounds like a great idea wait until you hear the screaming when one missed call that isn't reviewed decides a big game.

Actually, the best answer would be fixing what @hUTch2002 alluded to, the hideous quality of officiating overall. But I don't believe that the leagues care enough to make that commitment, and the coaches all keep saying that SEC officials are the best in the country. The truth is that as long as people keep spending money and discussing college football and basketball year round, the powers that be will be happy.
