NCAA adopts new CBB rules

I like it... wish they wouldn't restart the 10 second count after a TO is called.
In addition to reducing timeouts from 5 to 4, the coaches can only carry 3 timeouts into the 2nd half. Good stuff!
In basketball, I think there are at least 8 timeouts anyway (at 4, 8, 12 and 16-minute marks of stopped play in each half). So it's not like the players are going full tilt from tipoff to final horn.
Anything to speed up the game without harming the integrity of the sport.

The one area that will hurt us is the freedom of movement to off the ball players. If they start calling fouls for chipping or bumping players trying to move through the defense its going to be a long season.
Also, some of these areas that they are going to try to enforce will not speed up the game, if anything it will make them longer and turn them into foul shooting contests.
College basketball has been played forever and its popularity does not seem to be waning so why the changes?
I truly believe the changes will benefit the blue bloods because they are making the game like AAU ball.
The one rule they should have changed is the 10 second T/O rule where coaches and players can null out great defensive effort in the back court by calling a T/O and getting another 10 seconds.

And in the department of "Great Irony" it may actually be that college basketball games were shorter before there was a shot clock than they have been in recent years. Nothing allowed time to run off the clock like the old "stall ball" game.
The only real way to gain control of the games and allow good free flowing games to emerge is to be very clear on what a foul is and then consistently call them. Foul out a bunch of players in a bunch of games and teams will adjust and play on the court will emerge. But people aren't machines and calling fouls will never be consistent and they'll keep tweaking game.

yea I agree completely & wrote the same thing elsewhere. let's hope the game doesn't become a 40-minute foul fest. ruins it for players & fans.
reading the language of the rule changes & new empahsis areas, it's very clear the intention is to increase scoring by governing defense & physical play more than ever. this is definitely an underrated topic & could be a major impact. I'd not realized scoring fell to historic lows.
all in all I think it'll be case by case. the refs, like teams, have their own nuances. Buffalo game was 49 fouls, 3 plus hours. Maryland game they let em play. UK game was like looney tunes with a whistle every 40 seconds.
