About time they moved to the international 3-point line, IMO.

Quote:The NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee has proposed moving the 3-point line back to the international basketball distance, more than one foot farther than the current line.

The international 3-point line is 22 feet, 1¾ inches, while the current 3-point line is 20 feet, 9 inches.

Quote:The committee also recommended four other proposals:

• Resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds after offensive rebounds;

• Players being assessed Flagrant 2 technical fouls and ejections for using derogatory language about an opponent's race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability;

• Allowing coaches to call live-ball timeouts in the last two minutes of the second half and overtime;

• Conducting instant replay review for goaltending or basket interference calls in the final two minutes of the second half and overtime.

Has this been a problem? I've not hear of one incident of this nature. Or is this a solution in search of a problem? Name one incident where this has actually happened. I'm not saying it has never happened in isolation, but what was the purpose for this rule, if it hasn't been a problem. A catch all just in case?

It's yet another freebie for officials to change a game with. That's what it is. Instant replay doesn't have a microphone on every player. There's literally no way to prove or disprove this call. It will be used to job the games, as if there aren't enough ways already.

If they want to move the 3 point line then fine.

As to the rest they are absurd. No live ball timeouts please. It's too convoluted already. No last two minute and overtime consideration of basket interference if you aren't going to check it for the whole damned game. Miss a goal tending in the first half and win by a 1 at the end and you should have lost by 1 instead. The last 2 minutes are no more or less important than any other time in the game, unless you are an official and you need to shave points. And the games take too long to play out now so leave the rebound with a full 30 seconds. Rebounds should be rewarded.
