hopefully they dont. the fouls they called tonight. call them all year like this. players have to adjust. hands off. until they do...call it, 40-45-50 fouls per.
Not this time. National sports people been talking about it all week. Said it will be beneficial in the end and clean up the game. Said refs will not
Be doing games in postseason if they keep with the new rules. This is second time around the head of ncaa officials said it's going to not be area of focus but the standard going forward

Who knows? They made Cal waste about half a season in 2013-2014, as he coached the team according to the New Rules... only to discover that the refs never really applied them. This time, I predict they'll slack off again, until Dook needs to go to the foul line a thousand times, of course.
Eh...just looking at the totals?
Take away Marcus and we were 14-19, 74%
The good news is Marcus eventually hit 2.
Also Poy was 0-2, he will be fine.
People get in a tizzy almost any time refs call a significant amount of fouls. The reality is that the number of fouls called per game hit an all-time low in the 12-13 season, at 17.68 per team per game. Much like FT shooting %, there actually hasn't been much variation at all in terms of fouls called- the average since they started tracking in 1948 has ranged between 17.68 and 22.5. The last 20+ years has seen a general decrease, from 20 in 91-92, down to that record low in 12-13. There was a fairly large uptick in 13-14 (early season stuff), but last year, the number was back down to 18.2.
In a sense, it's nice to have some consistency in how many fouls you expect the refs to call, but the reality has been that coaches have used referee apprehension about calling more fouls than normal to gradually increase the physicality of play, especially on defense. Which has had the effect of making the game much slower paced, and much lower scoring. It's stunning just how many fewer shots teams actually take now than they did for a huge chunk of the era that predated the shot-clock.
The only way to change that is to go through a period when more fouls than normal are called, because that's the only way you're going to change standards and get it to actually stick. The key, as many others in this thread have noted, is consistency. If you have different standards in March than you had in November, any attempt at change is doomed to fail.

if they stick with the rule then it will benefit us in the long run. we are very strong on the O end and probably a little above average on D (at least will develop into that). taking away the extreme physical playing will help us on O but also make our D rank better nationally.
imagine how teams like ul and mich st will look on D if they can't just hold, hack, slap, and push their way to positition.

Guys this will help us in the long run more than any team and coaching style. It will take time like it did in the nba in the mid 90s but we will benefit from

This was how college ball used to officiated, before they allowed tackling and hacking to ruin the offensive flow of the game. Go back and watch basketball games in the 1990's to see what I'm talking about.
This isn't going away. Teams will adjust and the game will be better for it. With the athletes and size the big boys put on the court, I would think you all would be ecstatic for the new rules.

The 90's were good.
The Jayhawks had the best record in college basketball from 90-99 i do believe.
And in traditional KU fashion only made 2 FF's and no titles...
