Rules committee and 30 sec clock

[crazymg]

Why is the rules committee made up of mid-level and low-level university people??

The rules committee is made up of a cross section of people from all levels of the NCAA: Hillsdale College athletic director Don Brubacher, Caldwell College athletic director and coach Mark Corinne, Akron's Keith Dambrot, Florida State deputy athletic director Karl Hicks, Fairfield coach Sydney Johnson, Marshall associate athletic director Jeff O'Malley, SUNY Cobleskill athletic director Kevin McCarthy, Erskine College coach and athletic director Mark Peeler, LIU coach Jack Perri, Southwestern University (Texas) coach and assistant athletic director William Raleigh and La Verne coach Richard Reed.

None of them have those pesky post season tourneys to interfere with their duties.

You're illustrating one of college basketball's biggest problems just by listing those names. What the hell do Hillsdale, Caldwell, SUNY Cobleskill, Erskine, and La Verne know about big-time college basketball? All those guys representing those schools may have the best intentions, may, in fact, be incredibly knowledgeable, but it comes off like assigning a group of high school refs to oversee the rules for the NFL.

The least that the NCAA can do is to have a separate D1 rules committee.

More importantly, why aren't there fans on the committee?
There should always be at least one member that actually played the game also.
The HS refs overseeing the NFL is a great analogy.

Well the rules effect all levels of NCAA basketball, not just teams like Kentucky and Duke...

Fans on the rules committee? That's LOL worthy right there.

And that's a big problem. Do you really think that the game that UK and Duke play is the same as what's played in D3? Do you think you'll run into the same type of officiating/rules' issues in D3 as D1? It's apples to watermelons.

Yes, many of the same problems apply. The running down the shot clock every possession applies to many teams in D3. The constant mugging on penetration and in the paint applies in D3. The general slow pace of the game and sluggish scoring applies in D3. The flopping and refs inability to show any clue about flopping and what a charge/block is applies in D3. Just because the talent isn't as great doesn't mean the teams don't adopt the same strategies.
