NCAA committee proposes another change to block/charge rule

he Men's Basketball Rules Committee, which met Wednesday through Friday in Indianapolis, proposed a change that will require a defending player to be in legal guarding position before the airborne player leaves the floor to pass or shoot. The defending player would not allowed to move in any direction — except vertically to block a shot — before contact occurs.

Some other experimental rules that the NCAA is looking at:
•To expand the restricted-area arc in front of the basket to 4 feet. The current restricted-area arc, which marks an area on the court in front of the basket where a secondary defender is unable to draw a charge, is 3 feet in front of the basket.

I like the arc, exactly where it is.
The committee stressed a major officiating issue for the 2014-15 season — cleaning up play inside when players are defending in the post. The official guidelines are:

•A defensive player pushing a leg or knee into the rear of the offensive player shall be a personal foul on the defender.

•An offensive player dislodging a defensive player from an established position by pushing or backing in shall be a personal foul on the offensive player.

•A player using the "swim stroke" arm movement to lower the arm of an opponent shall be charged with a personal foul.

•Post players using hands, forearms or elbows to prevent an opponent from maintaining a legal position shall be charged with a personal foul.

I love all of these proposed changes to clean up the wrestling in the post. Basketball is about moving your feet and getting into position, not who is the strongest and best wrestler.

I hope the last 4 rules don't pass, those just seem like ticky tac fouls that will be inconsistently called and will just piss off the fans. Basketball is a contact sport, watching the posts battle it out down low is one of my favorite parts of the game especially with Jerron and Jarnell last year. If you take that away, you're taking away one of the best aspects of the game IMO

If a guy is bigger and stronger in the post he should be able to use that to his advantage, not just try to dance around a smaller defender.

So basically Michael Jordan was right. Basketball was a lot more physical back when he played. And today's players ARE a bunch of pansies. Gotcha.

What is the point in lifting weights when you're just expected to pirouette around a defender??

What is happening to the game I love?

Players are bigger and stronger than they were 30 years ago. Contact is inevitable, especially with fast movement. The problem is that you can play fundamental basketball, and contact will occur. I am a traditionalist, but before the game becomes a non-contact sport, I would consider the radical change of expanding the court before most other radical contact changes.

Seems to be a cake and eat it too type thing to me. We want basketball to be athletic and display skills, but want to consider skills as the ability to be football players on the court. Not sure I understand.

When Shaq was allowed to bull his way into the basket, the theme of the game changed. Up until then a big player had to legitimately gain an angle and establish a position before backing in. Everything was to be action, then response by the defender. That is not how it is now. So I support these proposals.

The charge call needs cleaned up. Just to race for a spot on the floor without establishing a defensive position to get a charge call is ridiculous.

You may be too young to remember that basketball was not originally designed to be a contact sport, so the proposed rule changes are a return to the purity of the game.

The changes to the rules of basketball over the years have changed it from a non contact sport, as it was intended, to a very physical contact sport. You used to have to out think your opponent in order to win a game. This not the way the game should be played. We should go back to the rules of the 60's and 70's. That is when basketball was a thinking mans game and not just who was the strongest and could push everyone out of his way. Sometimes when you change the rules with the idea it will make it better, you are just wrong. Been a lot of bad rule changes over the years. They might as well put on pads and get rid of dribbling. Then the strongest will win but not necessarily the best.

Today's game is called yard-ball ,or street-ball .This is my house and your going to lose. That's the way the refs call it ,most nights. That's were it is learned and played .The big's going one on one bumping and grinding for their shoot. Its fun to watch as long as it called evenly on both sides but the refs can choose to see what they want . That's were the problem is.

Most of this would be unnecessary if you raised the goal from 10' to 11'.

No rule changes are necessary. Enforce the rules of the game as they were written several decades ago. The game is great without the crap that they have allowed to dirty up the game.

It's all ticky-tac. It needs to be understood that anyone who comes in the middle will be hurt. I haven't liked the NBA since the 80's-90's. That's how basketball is supposed to be played. Today? A bunch of ***'s.

It does not matter what changes to the rules that the rules committee comes up with. The officials are going to emphasize these changes early in the season and after Christmas it will go back to the strongest survive in the post.
I am really fine with physical play off the ball. I just think that you have to protect the player with the ball. Hand checking has got to be called and contact on the shooter must be called. This is one reason that scoring is down. There is way too much contact on the ball allowed.

So you shouldn't be allowed to make contact with the offensive player in the paint? He should be allowed to simply back you down until he gets to the goal and the dunk?

Changing the rules is meaningless if the officials don't call them correctly. There are also the officials that think the game is about them and not the players. What we really need more than new rules or rule changes are better officials that can actually keep up with the game. This past season proved that even with replays they would still screw it up.

The one that sticks out the most to me will always be "TV time Teddy Valentine" as he ALWAYS makes his "appearance" when the cameras are rolling and the game's outcome can be "influenced".

No. I didn't say that. The defensive player has a right to hold their established position.
