New Rules approved by the NCAA oversight committee

[UKvisitor]

"on Tuesday approved extending the coach’s box to 38 feet for the 2017-18 men’s basketball season."
"Other rules changes

• Referees can use the instant replay rule in the last two minutes of the second half or last two minutes of overtime to see if a secondary defender was in or outside the restricted-area arc but only when a call has been made. If the player is in the restricted area, a block will be called on the defender. If the secondary defender is in legal guarding position and outside the restricted area, a player-control foul will be called. The Big Ten and Mid-American conferences experimented with this rule last season.
• A mandatory minimum of 0.3 second will be taken off the game clock when the ball is legally touched, and an official immediately blows his whistle.
• A legal screen was redefined to require that the inside of the screener’s feet be no wider than his shoulders.
• The cylinder rule was adjusted to allow more freedom of movement for the offense. If a defensive player straddles an offensive player’s leg in a way that prohibits him from making a normal basketball move — which now includes pivoting — contact that creates a common foul will be called on the defensive player.
• The Southeastern Conference received approval for its request to use a separate individual or individuals to collaborate with the on-court officials on all monitor reviews during its league games during the 2017-18 season. This collaboration will take place from a central location that is not at the game site."

Cal will still go 39 ft or 40 ft.

Yep and so will every other coach. Just make the damn line center court and T them up every time they go past.

Did they address incompetence, bias and stupidity in officiating? Because everything else is changing the color scheme on the Space Shuttle Challenger.

Who cares where they go on their side of the court?

Just put a headset on the coaches and bluetooth receivers in the players ears. Coaches wouldn't have to leave their seat.

Until they address flopping...could care less

Did they fire Higgins?

They did consider getting him a seeing eye dog.

Hard to believe this has yet to be addressed. As much as I hate it until UK starts doing it and getting away it it may not be addressed.

 

[ram1955]

uh...will they call walking this season? How about contact fouls during a shot? How about hand checks?

Still not sure why TV and radio announcers don't really rip on players for flopping. I cring when a play-by-play guy says that a player "really sold that charge". They should ridicule floppers every chance they get. Once flop-shaming is common place, and floppers are highlighted in every not top ten montage, it will stop.

Yes. Roger Ayers, John Higgins, and Doug Simmons will officiate every UK game from a secure remote location.

Officials oversight isn't part of the job of the rules committee

It is like nobody in the NCAA is watching the games. They can't see it cause they have their eyes closed.

I agree. The announcers should rip them. It's gotten disgusting
