[QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 892925, member: 652"]
I love college basketball, but if I could make some changes I would do the following. I am not somebody who likes change just for the heck of it, but I like to see improvements for me to want change.

1. I would change two 20 minute half's into four 10 minute quarters. This would result in timeouts be called  in each quarter one time under 5 minutes, and then at the end of the quarter. This would be instead of the under 16, 12, 8, 4 timeouts.

2. I would change the possession arrow to a jump ball. I made this clear last week, just have the refs throw up and let the players decide possession.

3. I would change shot clock from 35 to 30. I think women's college basketball gets this right. 30 seconds should be enough and be a little different than the NBA, but get more possessions in the game with 5 less seconds on the shot clock.

4. Enforce the coaching box. I hate all the coaches on the court almost every game. I would give each coach 1 warning per game then the 2nd time charge a timeout to the coach if his team has possession if not call a technical foul and 3rd violations automatic Technical foul.

5. Enforce hand-checking. I don't want teams playing overtly physical defense.

What would others want to see changed or enforced?
