* 30 second shot clock
* restricted arc expanded to 4 feet
* one fewer team timeout in second half

* post season experiment - one extra foul allowed per player

NOTE - These are all proposed rule changes.

VCU would love the ability to commit one more foul per player during playoffs.

A couple other items is allow dunking during warm ups. Hanging on the rim is only one shot foul.

I hate the NCAA.

I don't like different rules for post season.

It's what the coaches want to see

The 30 second shot clock coupled with an added foul per player proves they have no real interest in making the game flow better. As I said from the beginning, this is about power conference teams making the rules more beneficial for teams that are made up of 1& 2 year players. It's all about dumbing the game down and making it about one on one play.

I think you're exactly right. The reason I like college ball so much is that it is not like the NBA. I much prefer the chess game to the run-and-gun... even if the score is a couple of points lower.

One more foul per player? Uggggggggggggg.......

Sure, now that Arledge has graduated.

If I recall correctly, the ABA did not foul anyone out?

The Big East already tried the 6 foul thing years ago. It nearly destroyed their league, so they went back to 5. How it's it possible to be as consistent as the NCAA is at making terrible decisions?

One thing that really makes zero sense is that the NCAA is claiming to be shortening the shot clock to 30 seconds because the college game has become "unwatchable." That is debatable, but how in the world does adding an additional foul per player help in that regard?

This is so terrible.

"Proposed" rule change means future rules. Oh well.

It'll keep the better players in the game. And the coaches are the ones who proposed these changes

I like the 30 seconds and I like trimming the timeouts. I hate the 6 fouls per player.

Which coaches........rick pitino and john calipari?

Meanwhile, the committee is recommending that women's basketball go to 10-minute quarters.

There'd be one media timeout per quarter, as well as after the first and third quarter, so that's two fewer than now.

Five fouls in a quarter takes you to the double-bonus (no one-plus-one). Fouls reset every quarter except after the fourth if it goes to OT.

Four TOs in TV games, five in non-TV games.

It'll be interesting to see if the changes affect the game in the way they're hoping it will, and if that'll make its way to the men's game. I remember an early-season power-team doubleheader in Vegas one year that used the quarter format as an NCAA-approved experiment, but that's the last I recall it coming up.

EDIT TO ADD: It was 1997 and it was actually a nearly monthlong experiment. Apparently it didn't go over very well, but that may have had to do with the execution more than the actual concept.

I would like to see something done with the double bonus, maybe the 10 minute quarter solution would help. Such an advantage when Team A is in the double bonus eight minutes into the half.

Everybody is crying and complaining about concussions, soon it's going to be flag football. I love how the parents allow their kids to play football and cry and complain that their kid got hurt. That's like being mad at the military because your kid got killed overseas. Seriously.
It's coming folks the NCAA will change the rules in football!
