Rules have been changed for next season

Biggest one is 30 second shot clock. Thoughts?

NCAA will now allow instant replay of shots made after shot clock goes off....one year too late for Kentucky

Also, refs can call a foul on a player for flopping. (Chris Jones)

 

[Rhavicc]

> Shot clock has been reduced to 30 seconds

> Restricted arc in the post has been expanded from 3 feet to 4 feet

> Removed one team timeout in the second half to focus on quickly resuming play

> There was one other change to the rules. Ironically enough, Bilas cited the Jones flop in the UofL vs UK game in this one.

> More irony. The Nigel Hayes rule has been added. Shot-clock violations can now be reviewed at any point in the game. Previously, it could only be reviewed in the final 2 minutes (if I'm not mistaken on the time remaining)

> Fouls can be reviewed. If it is determined that a player flopped, a technical foul will be assessed to the team of the player that flopped.

> 10 second backcourt clock will not reset by calling a timeout. (If a player is back there for 7 seconds, gets in a trap and calls a timeout, when the ball is taken back out, he has 3 seconds to make it across the halfcourt line.)

> 5 second closely guarded rule has been removed.

I'm with all of the new rules that have been proposed. They're changes that needed to be made.

The 30 seconds, 1 less timeout, and flop fouls are all significant. I think they all favor Kentucky too. More athleticism and less standing around or pretending to be fouled. I agree with all changes.

 

[Rhavicc]

There are a couple of interesting additions that I wouldn't have thought of. I kinda wish that the clock was reduced to around 26 seconds, but ah well.

per ESPN, Jay Bilas speaking about it now.

EDIT: There was one other change to the rules. Ironically enough, Bilas cited the Jones flop in the UofL vs UK game in this one.

Fouls can be reviewed. If it is determined that a player flopped, a technical foul will be assessed to the team of the player that flopped.

The last one will have a Duke exception.

 

[ganner918]

They also proposed to make a called timeout within 30 seconds of a scheduled media timeout count as that media timeout. That is badly needed.

 

[Rhavicc]

Continuing to read the rules, will add as they're reported.

1. I'd like for them to be able to review or maybe challenge a call like the NFL. For instance, the shot clock violation vs Wiscy. Maybe give the coach two challenges and if calls upheld you lose a timeout, if not then the call is corrected and nothing happens.
2. I think I'd also be in favor of advancing the ball to your end of the court after a timeout, whatever that rule is in the NBA that allows the advancement, I'm not familiar with it.

oh little baby jesus thank you... I was so sick of 10 min of commercials, getting back to the game, someone knocks it out of bounds, then 10 more minutes of commercials. Was outrageous during this years tournament.

Still editing. Refer to OP. The first you listed has been amended and shot-clock violations can be reviewed at any point in the game now.

If I heard Bilas correctly (will try to verify), timeouts no longer reset the backcourt clock on backcourt violations.

 

[UK_Is_Good]

Also not resetting the 10 second backcourt clock and eliminating the 5 seconds closely guarded call.

 

[ThroughBlue]

TV Timeouts are what have ruined the flow of the game. Take a media timeout out per half and you can leave everything else alone, IMO

 

[ukwizard]

– Allow instant replay of shots made after shot clock goes off

AKA the "haha we let this one screw Kentucky out of a championship but we better fix it." Rule

 

[MWes11]

I like the 5 second call. Rewarded the defense for pressuring the ball.

 

[ganner918]

Yeah, this is the only change I don't really like.

What I would personally like to see is 4 quarters of play, instead of 2 halves. While there is still a halftime, extend the amount of time between quarters to fit in their oh-so-necessary television timeouts, while allowing fans to be able to watch the game for 10 minutes at a time, rather than 4.
The college game is the only one that goes by halves and not quarters in basketball.

 

[KA4Prez]

10-second clock doesn't reset with a timeout. This is good too. Doesn't reward a team who can't get it across by calling a timeout.

 

[Xception]

I don't know if the verticality changes touch on this but I would like to see the defender be able to jump straight up and own that space without the offensive player being allowed to jump into him creating contact and drawing a foul . Also get rid of offensive player kicking legs outfit contact and a foul , it's weak and theatrical . The foul should go on whoever initiates the contact no matter what .

The sad truth is that all that you just requested is already the rule but rarely gets called that way.

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

These are PROPOSED changes. They still need to be voted on, so there is no guarantee all of these rules will get passed.

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

These are all proposals. They still need to be voted on before they become actual rule changes.

 

[BostonCat2001]

reducing the shot clock wont matter much unless you introduce a defensive 3 seconds and really cleaned up the grabbing and bumping cutters.

if you allow defense to remain as physical as they currently are...you just helped them by making them play 5 less seconds of defense.

need 2013 rules

 

[bthaunert]

Yeah, this is the only change I don't really like.

It's one of those rules that is called so rarely, that I don't mind it going away.

 

[gossie21]

I like this rule. It would also apply when the ball gets deflected out of bounds in the backcourt I would assume.

What about when the ball is inbounded from the frontcourt into the backcourt? I am guessing the 10-second count would reset in this situation.

 

[bigbluedon]

Flopping or faking a charge,whatever you want to call it has always been a technical foul, but there is not a college ref out there with balls enough to call it. It is a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct..

good post too BostonCat.. Something needs to be done about the physicality moreso than anything else in the college game.

 

[swflCAT]

Working on the flop its great, basketball shouldn't be measured as a drama. It is supposed to be a roughly an hour event with time-outs and time for free throws and etc. And it seems to be a little too physical, some more finesse and body control would be nice to me.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

If they called them ALL YEAR. They basically gave up calling hacks, grabs, and bumps by the second half of the season.

I'd also like to call the jump up in the air and pretend to be fouled bs a la Kevin Kuric.

And flopping. (but I doubt they start calling it)

 

[UKCATSFREAK]

I am actually completely STUNNED by the changes made for next year. Not so much in any exact rule change but just in the amount of major rule changes to be implemented in 1 year. It is monumental to have this many major changes in a couple year span, much less all these in just 1 year. Now, the oversight commitee still must approve these changes and all the changes may not be approved but it is nice to see that the NCAA is making an attempt to better the game.
Everyone is pointing to the shot clock as the biggest change by I don't think that will be that much of a change. Sure, you'll have faster possessions but teams will simply have to start their offense quicker. I think the timeout reduction and coaches live ball timeouts will effect the game at the most crucial times of the game. I'm curious to see if the experimental player foul addition for the postseason will include the NCAA tourney. That could be potentially be the biggest change of them all if so but I would bet that it will be experimented in the NIT as usual experiments. That change as well as the removal of the closely guarded violation are the 2 that I like the least. I think you'll definitely see more fouls called with the additional player foul but they NCAA wants to keep its stars on the court and I think the defense should be rewarded for good defense for the closely guarded violation. But I'm glad they're at least making an attempt to make the game better to watch as it seems that is the reason for most of these changes.

 

[KingOfBBN]

It's a damn shame that these rules are one year too late.

Love the shot clock. 35 seconds was too damn long for some team to dribble the ball out of the air before driving but it's just long enough to not be as quick as the two passes and shot goes up style that you see in the NBA.

All of these are good. The only tweak I would make is allow a coach's challenge to replace one of the team's timeouts. No rules on the challenge at all. It is unlimited.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

These are PROPOSED rule changes. They all have to be voted on. No rule change has been made yet. There is no guarantee every single one of these proposals will pass.

 

[WildMoon]

So, this is almost like...

Sorry Kentucky, here's how we screwed you over last year change.

 

[Teachable Moe]

A TO should mean play resumes in 60 seconds. Not 4 minutes.

 

[minjo]

These are all proposals. They still need to be voted on before they become actual rule changes.

If Pitino and Krushchevski have a vote on this you can bet two nays for flopping rule already.
There are others too, but we won't go there.

 

[BobbyG_tickle_swerv]

Just hope they stop calling the ticky-tack fouls when a guard drives and start calling the freaking head-snap flop on the guards. I got so tired of watching teams dribble around then drive to the basket, pick up a cheap foul by snapping their head back, and shoot like 40 free throws a game. They really need t do something about that.

 

[UKCATSFREAK]

Umm, yeah and that is EXACTLY what I stated in my post. Did you not see that part? I do know how the rules process works. I have officiated for many many years. The oversight rules committee still must approve these changes.

 

[UKCATSFREAK]

If Pitino and Krushchevski have......

LOL!!! I can't laugh too much, I couldn't have done much better spelling it myself.

 

[Orange Soda King]

All of those are great rule changes, in my opinion. One year too late with the Nigel Hayes rule, though...

 

[FFWhite]

Call fouls for flopping and head faking fouls. But also call the holds and hip checks on defense away from the ball. Teams can't play offense because of the other team holding cutters. Don't add a 6th foul. Teams like UofL would take it as a license to maim.

 

[Askeladden]

FFS abolish the charge call already. Remove that stupid arc under the basket.
