Bunch of Rule Change for 2015-16

1. 30 second shot clock - don't think is a big deal, no one works the ball enough for this to matter anymore
2. 3 foot restricted area arc under hoop extended to four feet - not a fan of this
3. Timeouts reduced from 5 to 4 - hooray!
4. 10 second backcourt clock not reset when timeout called - never understood why they allowed the offense the get out of jail free card they've been getting - good change
5. Coaches cannot call live-ball timeouts - once again, never liked letting a coach bail out the offense when they're under duress - another good change

Also, women's basketball will have 4 10 minutes quarters instead of 2 20 minute halves. Don't understand why that is necessary.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

I like every one of these changes....

 

[RUJMM78]

A 30 second shot clock doesn't help teams like Rutgers that have trouble scoring.Staying in games will be more difficult.I think there will be more zone defense to minimize fouling and force opponents to take quick 3 point shots.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

I don't like that the 5 second violation for guarding the dribbler was eliminated

 

[nirrad]

Good changes. They need to do quarters for men's basketball as well

 

[G- RUnit]

Can now dunk in warm ups too.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Agree with you, Shack. An offensive player will be able to simply let clock run, standing with the ball without passing it.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

From the Big Ten Network site...

• Shot clock reduced to 30 seconds.
• Teams will have one fewer team timeout (only three can carry over instead of four) in the second half.
• Timeouts called within 30 seconds of a break (at the 16:30 mark) or at any time after the scheduled media timeout becomes the media timeout.
• Coaches can no longer call a timeout when the ball is live.
• Officials can use the monitor to review a potential shot clock violation on made field goals throughout the entire game.
• Making Class B technical fouls (hanging on the rim and delaying the resumption of play, for example) one-shot technical fouls. Previously, two shots were granted for these types of technical fouls.
• Eliminating the five-second closely guarded rule while dribbling the ball.
• Removing the prohibition on dunking in pregame warmups and at halftime.
• Allowing a total of only 10 seconds to advance the ball to the front court (with a few exceptions).

1. Good.
Need to get rid of some these 50-48 games

2. Good.
Less charges called the better. Way too many bad charge calls and this will cut down a lot of the ref's judgment, which in my experience typically sucks

3. Good. Although I have a hard time believing that it will mean less commercials

4. Good. Just common sense

5. Good again.

Agree. An offensive player will be able to simply let clock run, standing with the ball without passing it.

I don't think that's true. The rule change specifically mentioned eliminating 5 second call for closely guarded player who is dribbling only. I guess with reduction of the shot clock they don't think this is a big deal but I don't agree with this one.

The rule making a timeout within 30 seconds of the media timeout the actual media timeout should be called the Eddie Jordan Rule. He must've led the nation in timeouts called with 12:01 or 8:01 on the clock. Don't understand the other verbiage in this rule change though. May have to readjust my timing of flights to the restroom now.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Regarding the women's game going to 4 quarters this resulted in the elimination of the one and one. Now, teams will go into a double bonus within each quarter on the 5th foul. Really don't like this. Hope they don't do this in the men's game although they probably will. I hate the NBA game and rules like this bring it closer to the pro game.

 

[bac2therac]

i like the changes for the mens game but going to 4 quarters for women is absurd and unnecessary. No need for the NCAA to start experimenting like this with an eye on doing it for men

 

[mikefla]

I like em all but the 5 second rule

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I don't like that the 5 second violation for guarding the dribbler was eliminated

Why was this eliminated?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I have been a broken record, but the 30 seconds shot clock really upsets me.

I peeked at the end of G2 of Clev-GS.....if our game becomes anything like that it ceases to be called basketball....time to watch HS I suppose.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

I don't agree with the shot clock reduction, making the restriction zone larger, or removing the 5 second count on a dribbler.

Basically stripping down the defensive side of the game with these rules. Although not drastically it still makes the game more NBA like , which I absolutely hate. NBA is unwatchable 95% of the time/games. Its basically one or two guys controlling the ball then throwing up a shot. I love in college when teams run the offense, can't find a shot, and then run it again !

 

[ScarletDave]

No live ball time-outs ... So when a team goes on a run, the coach can't have them bring the ball past half-court before a timeout, and instead has to do it after a basket? Not sure I like that part

 

[G- RUnit]

5 second rule is really the strangest one to figure. All these rules to encourage a faster paced game but now allowing one player to dribble like Marcus Haynes for 25 seconds. Seems to defeat the purpose of all the other rules changes.

A player can still call a live ball timeout but the coach can't. Coaches were basically doing it to bail out a player in a trap and refs had to be paying attention to the game and the coach while the play was happening.

Actually..a thirty second shot clock will more likely lead to MORE possessions....but will lead to those possession, statistically, to having less efficiency since less time

I think it makes playing defense EASIER on a given position

I really think a great strategy to mask some weakness is to ZONE press (even if it isn't to cause turnover) just enough to get teams to set up at 22-24 instead of 26-27.

 

[Good-Knight]

Shorter shot clock means more 3's jacked up. I'm not a fan of that. I also don't like dunking in warm-ups (which I've seen called just once).

 

[G- RUnit]

If you can dunk during the game seems odd to bar dunks during warm ups. Now having said that how long until someone blows out a knee during warm ups?

 

[Good-Knight]

I don't want warm ups turned into Show Time. If you can't do your 360 Tomahawk in the game, I don't want to see it in warm ups. Someone will get hurt and you don't need to "warm up" a dunk. Maybe I'm cranky because I don't seem to be able to dunk anymore now that I'm almost 50.

I believe it puts a bit more of a premium on having a shot blocker. Easier for top 25 schools to have. The amount of possessions that end with an individual play (penetration or long range shot) goes up dramatically.

Zone press as you say becomes huge and could negate offensive sets were teams have option 3 and Option 4. In addition, how many times will an offense be able to reverse per possession?

i really hate this...basketball was not meant for an offense to have a finite time to get a good shot. Teams that aren't able to put on ball pressure should be at a disadvantage.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Will we see more junk defenses thrown? Huggins 1-3-1 or Boeheim 2-3 defenses can be beaten with skilled players who are disciplined and patient. Now you will see more offensive charges and 26 foot 3 point shots.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Greene:

Yes and No

I hear you...but it is going to FORCE coaches to implement more movement on the court to beat the shot clock

Take a look around...and you see a lot of college half court sets or absolutely one guy is not moving and often a second one. Now...offenses will need to have more guys moving to create space for shots

Less standing around...

Teams will have to be taught to move the ball to beat the shot clock. Teams will have to learn that its not panic time with 5 seconds on the clock either....

Shot blocking capability will matter more...true

 

[G- RUnit]

Or with no 5 second rule just have your best player dribble the ball for 25 of 30 seconds... Would be fascinating if some team tries this. Miles Mack last year? ;-)

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I heard they will be allowing home arenas to pipe on music during half court possessions....sigh

 

[SkilletHead2]

If there is somebody out there who can dribble like Marcus Haynes for 25 seconds, I wanna watch him.
