Interesting article on new NCAA rules

[Widget24]

Just skimmed through this on Yahoo. Looks like some coaches think the new rules will backfire. I think these coaches are the ones who don't want to adjust to these new rules and continue playing full-contact grudge matches. I'm in agreement with guys like John Dunne and Bobby Dibler that feel that this will be good in the long term, but there will be an adjustment period where a lot of whistles will be blown and the flow of the game will drag on at a snail's pace. If there's ever a season for us to shoot the ball well from the FT line, this is it!

With that said, I can't wait to see Pitt crap the bed this season when all their players foul out game after game.

Do the new rules address illegal screens? Pitt does those along with the clutch and grab defensive techniques.

"What we're looking for is for defenders to back to using their feet rather than their arms and their hands," Dibler said. "I want my referees to have a feel for the game, but at the same time I want them to enforce the rules as they're written. The onus is not on the official to keep from blowing the whistle. It's clearly the defenders guarding the ball who have to adjust. I'm one who believes that if we do our jobs consistently, players are going to adjust because they don't want to be sitting on the bench in foul trouble."
