NCAA Rule Changes (official thread)

[BB73]

I didn't know that BB73 was mr. Neismith...

Diebler has range when he gets out of his car in the parking lot...

I did put the baskets up there. Jimmy figured out what a timesaver it was to cut holes in the bottom, and hogged all the credit, the bastard.

Extending three-point line almost done deal

dispatch

The possibility didn't faze Ohio State recruit Jon Diebler or Ohio University coach Tim O'Shea.

Diebler, who set an Ohio high school scoring record with 3,208 points at Upper Sandusky High School, never bothered to measure a jump shot. He just hits them.

"Everyone has a sense of where the line is," Diebler said. "It's not like they look for it. With the unlimited range players have nowadays, I don't know if it would make that much of a difference."

A video on YouTube showing Diebler score 67 points against Shelby last season bears him out. The Buckeye-to-be is seen routinely nailing threes from two to three steps behind the current high school three-point line (which is the same as the college distance).

"I shoot a lot of deep shots anyway," Diebler said. "I think a lot of it is mental. If you have confidence as a shooter, you'll knock it down."

i don't mind the change but college bball needs to be careful...thyre already a hands down better product than the NBA and they don't need to change a whole lot....the idea of going to a 30 second shot-clock would be an awful idea

The NBA is brutal b/c teams have no time to set-up decent offenses...it turns in to 1 pass and a crappy jump-shot...i'll take a 35 second shot clock any day of the week, and actually wish the NBA would go to a 30 second shot clock

 

[Best Buckeye]

I agree , as far as I am concerned they are playing around with the rules now Let them alone. IF it ain' broke don't fix IT

 

[GrizzlyBuck]

I liked the idea of moving the three point line back, but will the increased length have unintended consequences. It is also a very slippery slope that the NCAA is headed down. College Bball is a much better product than the NBA, in my opinion. Keep the 35 second clock so there can be more sructure on both offense and defense.

I think it would be a good idea if we men would also go to a 30 second shot clock just like the women's. It would make games more up-tempo and could possibly make for a lot of closer games. Teams would not be able to "run out" the shot clock in the last 2 minutes of the game. If you want more passes before a shot is taken, all you have to do is bring the ball up court a little quicker. The women seem to pass the ball around quite a bit before a shot is taken and men are much more athletic. It would make for a more exciting game in my opinion.

The men should definitely be able to handle the 30-second shot clock, since it doesn't rush things too much for the women. But the women really need to put in the 10-second halfcourt rule, I can't believe they still don't have that.

Enforcement of bench rules could result in technicals this season

INDIANAPOLIS -- Cursing or venturing onto the court could draw college basketball coaches a quick technical foul this season.
The NCAA is making bench decorum a point of emphasis for 2007-08 and warns coaches to expect a whistle without warning for a variety of unsportsmanlike actions.
Referees who are consistent in enforcing the rules will be rewarded.
"The bench decorum rules, which include staying in the prescribed coaching box, have been interpreted in various ways for some time," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, the president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, said Thursday. "This initiative for strengthened, consistent enforcement has significant ramifications. Coaches and game officials who do not strictly adhere to the rules will be penalized."
The actions that can draw a technical include disrespectfully addressing an official or attempting to influence an official's decision, using abusive or profane language, taunting an opponent, inciting undesirable crowd reactions and coming onto the court without permission of an official to attend to an injured player.
The rules will also apply to assistant coaches, other team personnel and players on the bench.
Officials who consistently enforce the rules will be given preferential consideration for conference and NCAA tournament assignments.

Consistency isn't exactly a strong point amongst basketball officials. I see this becoming yet another thing that coaches like Coach K will get a pass on.

NCAA basketball approves charge circle

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel during its conference call on Monday approved adding a visible restricted-area arc three feet from the center of the basket where a secondary defender cannot legally take a charge in Division I men?s and women?s basketball games.
The panel delayed implementation of the arc until the 2012-13 season for Divisions II and III to allow those schools time to plan and place the restricted-area arc in their home arenas. For the upcoming season, secondary defenders in Divisions II and III men?s games will not be allowed to draw a charge in an unmarked area directly beneath the basket, which was the men?s rule in 2010-11. In Divisions II and III women?s games, secondary defenders will not be allowed to draw a charge in an unmarked area three feet from the center of the basket.
The Playing Rules Oversight Panel is the final approval body for playing rules proposals from sport and rules committees. The panel of representatives from all three NCAA divisions convenes periodically to consider recommendations.
The three-foot restricted area was recommended by the NCAA Men?s and Women?s Basketball Rules Committees in an attempt to limit the number of collisions near the basket on charge/block plays. The arc is also intended to provide some benefit to offensive players who have legally gained an advantage.

As long as the refs are consistent and applying the rule correctly, this is definitely a positive. However...

Over/under on how long it takes Hightower to find a way to include the new court feature in his sideshow?
