Take away disqualification and you’ll have the fugliest games ever.
A change I'd like to see made.

I hate watching players travel, regardless of its new catchy name.
In soccer, receiving two yellow cards in the same match results in an immediate red card and the player being sent off, meaning they cannot continue playing in that game. This in the most popular sport in the world. Let the bashing of soccer as a sport begin.
Wasn't there supposed to be this rule enforced already? Seem to remember them saying they were going to do this and it's of course gone away-like the rule of players NOT touching the ball after a made basket--and this non ending BS of throwing the ball to the official.
I'm not sure, but I just watched a game not long ago. The coach called timeout with 12:15 on the clock. They proceeded to lose the ball just under 12. TV timeout. The games just drag out so much.
I'm actually leaning to the side of doing away with free throws. Just give the team 2 points and move along.
You are 100% correct but I swear this was brought up about a timeout taken close to a TV timeout would just be included and they'd move past that "allotment" to keep game going. Just another rule that was never enforced. LOL
Just wipe away the Team Fouls at Halfway point of the Halves and you are fine. For some reason the Czars like Jay Bilas seem to think you have to have Quarters to enforce that--but it's really as simple as once the clock hits 10 min mark-both teams go back to 0 team Fouls. Nobody likes to watch FT contests. But CBB has that as their biggest issue. Want to score late in a CBB game? Drive to the basket and fall down. Or just drive to the basket like Tonje from Wisconsin repeatedly did without being touched or hit enough to be called for a foul and then watch on a review a Wisconsin player grabbing Richie Saunders by the jersey with his off hand and NOT called for a foul. LOL
I hate when the driver jumps into a stationary defender to draw a foul. Did I ever mention that refs are garbage at their jobs? They should be mandated to field questions after the game.
No timeouts after the ball is awarded to throw into play, inbound it or 5 seconds. The way the rule is now penalizes good defense.
Games would take forever if this was to happen. It would result in most shots taken in the lane ending up in fouls.
all of this ten thousand times and be sure to add :
NCAA need to make officials salaried employees and have a review process. There has got to be a complete revamping of the officiating process as it is done everywhere. Completely new people from the people that are in power over the NCAA process and various leagues with the crews that officiate games now everywhere. The entire system needs oversight and control.
The officiating is the biggest part that ruins the game of college basketball now, and has been for a long time.
Some of the rules like the current 5 foul rule don't work any longer, I still don't know why they play 2 halves, but I'm cool, with keeping it that way.... 4 quarters makes more sense, and a host of other changes. but I think it's indicative of the nature of the broken game as it stands right now. It's just a broken game.
March madness is really the only time of year anyone else even bothers to p[ay any attention to college basketball. I guess at least college football is still there to save college sports. Whatever college sports means these days.
tl;dnr:
Bottom line is : They need to make sweeping changes to college basketball. starting with officials and then other rules changes.
Without elimination the game would need the same pads and helmets that the football teams use. A team might score 120 and 104 of them be free throws. No one would ever make a lay-up again.
They could have a 3 minute penalty box for a player that fouls. You could sub in another player so theres five on the floor but the player that fouls sits for 3 minutes. OR the fouling player sits for 30 seconds and the team plays on with four player during the 30 seconds.
