NCAA hoops rule change proposals

[savannahfan]

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.

Just for saving time low hanging fruit for me is eliminating any entry into the lane or circle at the completion of the first of a two shot foul. Don’t need high fives and low fives for any reason. Want to leave lane position while the ref has the ball, go for it, but nothing that slows return of the ball to the shooter. Too many team meetings there now. Simply a lane violation if you do and costs you a free throw or gives the guy the redo. Even subs can stay out of lane on entry and exit.

On bonus attempts, must leave lane and return to A legal position quickly without physical interaction with other players. No mini huddles. Pointing and talking allowed.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find the FT shooter always getting the low/high 5s after EVERY attempt cringey. Was it Bone that would do it with air when his teammates were back on defense instead of on the lane?

Sorry brother, I was just trolling .

I thought people would call my bluff haha

I'm nowhere close to 103!

You are smart and clever that you knew the math was wrong haah!

They need to reset team fouls in OT games. The fact that teams stay in the double bonus for overtime is ridiculous.

Yep, with my rule he would forfeit one shot. No reason to cross the line.
