Of hi-octane offenses or do you like games in the 50-60s? Some even in the 40s.

I love good D and the shot clock. I would even go along with a 30 second clock and 7-8 second to cross half court. Wish they we're more attentive to the 3 second lane violation.

Wish they would call more of those end of the game fouls intentional. Why treat the end different. You grab someone without going for the ball that's intentional.

I coached my now 9 yr old when he was 8 in hoops. I told my players, "try to steal the inbounds, if we miss, foul". So we miss the inbounds, i yell "foul him". One of my kids shoves the other kid clean out of bounds. Whoops! I should have been more clear.

I remember those days. Kids can be very concrete. Lol

i think a shorter shot clock would make things even worse. teams are barely skilled enough to get ONE good possession in 35 seconds as it is. shortening the clock would only result in more rushed, bad shots. the single best rule change college basketball could make is inside 1 minute of the second half, any fouled team gets the option of free throws or a sideline throw in from their side of the court. i have watched too many games devolve into hackaramas and i cant stand watching 1 minute of game time take 20 minutes to play.

I miss the days when we would press the help out of people like Louise and VCU.

I think they will widen the lane soon and that will help.

When was that? Cal pressed about as much as Pastner.

Kirk years.

Giving the option to decline free throws and/or instituting a minimum five-second runoff for fouls (thereby ruining the "oops I fouled before they inbounded" tactic) would do a lot to make the end of games less of a grind, for sure.
