NCAA Basketball Rule Changes

[pmull]

There are some significant rule changes for next year. The quote and post below is from Bama Hoops Blog. There are many changes that I have not heard about.

The NCAA approved a myriad of rule changes for the upcoming season.  I can not recall a season with as many significant rule changes.  These are probably the most significant changes to the college game since the 3 point line.  As many of you know I officiate high school basketball, so I keep up with these things fairly closely, as often times rule adjustments and points of emphasis eventually filter down.  Anyway, here's what is new for 2015-2016

-30 Second Shot Clock-  This is long overdue and should improve the pace of the game.  It's my understanding that Coach Johnson intends to practice with a 24 second shot clock anyway, so this should only help us.

-Only 3 timeouts to carry over to second half: I'm not crazy about this one, as I think it will just encourage coaches to needlessly use another timeout in the first half.  You still get 5 per game, so now instead of one "use it or lose it" timeout in the first half, you have two.

-Any timeout within 30 seconds of a scheduled media timeout will be used as that media timeout.  Good.  Nothing worse than the media timeout, 20 seconds of play, then another timeout, etc.

No 4 point line?

No 4 point line? 

The Globe Trotters have been using "4 point" areas for a few years now.  Not sure why NCAA can't do the same...

I love the idea of a 30 second clock. I don't see a reason to have timeouts transfer from the first to 2nd half.

I like all of these rule changes. Especially the 30 second shot clock, increasing the arc under the basket to 4 feet, eliminating the 5 second rule when a player is dribbling and not allowing a coach to call time out to avoid a 10 second call.

Bingo! Major improvements to the game.

No new academic rules?
4-point shot if your GPA is 4.0!

Height disadvantage adjustment:
'No dunks if you are 6'10" or taller'.

All free throws and three point shots must be shot underhanded.

Ole "Wilt the Stilt" was a granny free throw shooter.
