The NCAA just release some very interesting rule changes being considered for 2015-16:
1. 4 10-minute quarters rather than 2-20 minute halves
2. The committee also recommended teams be allowed to advance the ball to the front court following a timeout called after made baskets in the last 59.9 seconds of the fourth quarter and any overtime periods.
3. For the upcoming season, the committee is proposing a team not receive a new 10-second backcourt count when a throw-in results from the following:
• The ball is deflected out of bounds by the defense.
• There is a held ball and the possession arrow favors the offensive team.
• A technical foul is called on the offensive team while the ball is in its backcourt.
4. The committee recommended defenders be allowed to place a forearm or an open hand with a bend in the elbow on an offensive post player with the ball whose back is to the basket.
