Love for the AAC to test run this (ACC experiment w/ 30 sec clock)
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-...53197.html

...ACC commissioner John Swofford told reporters Thursday that the league intends to experiment with a 30-second shot clock during exhibition games next season. The 35-second shot clock traditionally used in men's college basketball is longer than the time allotted to teams in the NBA, FIBA and women's college basketball.

The push to lower the shot clock and increase the number of possessions in a game coincides with concern over the decrease in scoring in college basketball. Scoring in Division I plunging to 67.5 points per game for the 2012-13 seasons, the lowest in 31 years or the entirety of the 3-point era...

More possessions = more 3 pt shots. Sounds good to me!

I'm not sure UC ever uses the full 35 sec. If it makes for higher scoring and more excitment - I'm all for it.

30 seconds is perfect. 35 is too long, and the NBA's 24 is too short (and is why you almost never see a full offensive play executed in the NBA - the short clock means that isolations and kick-outs are more viable).

But what do I know...I happen to love set plays in basketball but that's a matter of personal taste
