I watched the CSUB - Cal game last night, being that I had previous commitment for the actual night of the game. (BTW, if you like Alton Brown on TV, you'd probably like his tour show. Good stuff, IMO!) I guess the NCAA is experimenting with a few new rules and the NIT is the test lab. Comments?

• Each team is limited to a team total of four personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls) during each 10-minute segment of each half.

• The first 10-minute segment of each half will begin when the ball becomes live to begin the half and will end when the game clock reads 10:00. The second segment will begin when the game clock reads 9:59 and ends when the half ends.

• When a team has reached the four-foul limitation, all subsequent personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls) will be penalized by two free throw attempts.

• Each team’s foul total will reset to zero when any 10-minute segment has ended.

• The rules regarding penalties for fouls in the act of shooting, flagrant fouls or technical fouls will not be affected by this experimental rule and will always result in two free throws unless the rules specifically say otherwise.

• In any overtime period, when a team has reached a total of three personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls), all subsequent personal and technical fouls will be penalized by two free throw attempts.
The rule is funky. If you are playing fouls as if in quarters, then play quarters.

I think it impacted at least one game, forget which, where a team would have been in the bonus for 13 minutes, and instead it allowed the other team to foul them without penalty in the final 8 minutes.
I think we should go to quarters.
