Experimental NIT Rules...

Fingers crossed we don't see those in Syracuse, NY this year.

 

[djorange1989]

if we do get relegated to the NIT, guessing that FIBA 3 point line won't exactly be our friend.

 

[Hoo's That]

I like the offensive rebound clock reset rule.

 

[JeremyCuse]

God I wish we would turn the NIT invite down (assuming were stuck there), embarrasing.

Next year... 4 point line baby!!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

At least we don't have to take penalty laps for every missed FT.

 

[EastCoast2]

Wow... all of those rules actually seem modestly favorable to a standard Syracuse team.

• Longer 3-pt line = harder for opposing offenses to score, easier to force more long 2-pointers
• 4 quarters = more stopping in play, more rest for a short rotation
• 20 second shot clock reset = less time for opposing offense to reset and run play when we give up ORs

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

So, I get a rebound with 24 seconds left, I lose 6 seconds. That would be my only question. I would rather see the trapezoid lane as well. Is that still in use?
I would also like to see additional free throws after say 7 fouls in a quarter, or in the 4th quarter, you get the option of 2 FTs plus the ball.

Our 3 pt per-centage is so low, I don't think it would have a major impact on our offensive production. Teams that rely more on 3 point shooting (like Villanova) might feel a greater impact. And wouldn't extending the 3 pt line make our zone defense all the more effective?

I like the idea of re-setting the clock to 20 after an offensive board. I think

I agree. And a wider lane so teams can't pack it in as much with 4 guys for a million seconds.

 

[tbonezone]

i'd like to see a 5 point circle mid court just wide enuf to accommodate tip off and worth 5 if you have one foot in.

They keep experimenting with quarters. I don't get it. What exactly are they looking for?

Make the game more NBA like.

 

[jncuse]

I would try asking the players to use the Honor Rule in calling charges and blocks. Couldn't be any worse than having refs make the call.

I hate I because it slows the game down. Adding opportunities for stalled shots at the end of each Q is bad.

I think it may speed the game up on the foul issue though; instead of shooting on the 7th in each half, you'd need 5 in each quarter. So theoretically, there would be fewer foul shots taken. I think

Yeah, you may be right.

I still hate it.

I would love to see the wider lane in college ball.

2 free throws at 5 fouls should be interesting...will the Louisville types play softer?

I wish they’d go back to a real jump ball on tie ups.

Rock N Jock 25 point basket

The skeptic in me says they're looking for ways to optimize advertising revenue.

 

[PoppyHart]

I would have the Jeopardy song play the second officials reach the monitors for a review, and require a decision by the end of the 30-second "song".

Theoretically. Though I wonder if that's off set by the loss of the one and one.
