Horrible rule. NIU should have to take the ball length of court on 1.5 seconds to get a shot.

I was wondering the same thing. Scratching my head why they didn't have to go the length of the court. Doesn't make sense.

This rule, borrowed from the NBA, doesn't bother me. The women generally aren't strong enough to throw length-of-the-court passes or heave up half-court shots, so it's not feasible to score in a few seconds from the opposite end of the court. This rule makes for more exciting finishes.

Exactly my point. And I have nderstand it makes for exciting finishes but if my team is behind, runs fifteen seconds off the clock and then executes perfectly and scores the go ahead bucket with two seconds left they are penalized by allowing the opponent to win on a lucky heave from a place where they couldn’t in-bound at any other point in the game. I hate it in the NBA, too.
