I hate quarters. I hated it before the NIT. My hate only grew watching the NIT.Quarters and a longer 3 pt line got shelved this year but it's going eventually happen for college hoops.
A mandatory minimum of 0.3 second be taken off the game clock when the ball is legally touched.
Not sure what this is aimed at. On an inbounds and the player is fouled?
There weren't quarters in the NIT.I hate quarters. I hated it before the NIT. My hate only grew watching the NIT.
EasierGoing to be hard to play zone with a longer 3 point line.

Why? I think it helps our zone.
I think a stretched zone leads to more open driving gaps and guys have become pretty good at making 25 footers even at the college level. We saw that this past year.

Nobody takes long 2's anymore. Maybe the 3 point percentage declines a bit, but a wide open shot is still a wide open shot.

The whole point of the 3-pointer's introduction was to open up the lane by making the defenses spread out to cover 3-point shot attempts because the distance was "not that far". Whether they've succeeded in accomplishing lane freedom is open to interpretation. I could tolerate moving it to the distance specified in the FIBA international rules. The NBA has its line where it is because they are professionals at the top of their craft.if they move the line back .. they should move it back to the NBA distance
Freaking division 1 college athletes in all other major sports don't have such a vastly different aspect to their games then their pro counterparts

I am a hater. If you want to watch NBA stuff, watch the NBA and leave college bball alone.
Maybe I should clarify what I said a bit. I don't want college to adopt an NBA rule "just because it's an NBA rule"; far, far too many people want that. I enjoy the fiction we have now. I don't want an open acknowledgement that college is the NBA farm system and simply use the same rules the NBA has. I have not tuned in for a single second of an NBA game this season and will not for the foreseeable future. I guess I'm spoiled by lacrosse because I'd like to see football and basketball operate somewhere along the spectrum between the Ivy model and what we have now. However, I know that would require the two leagues to form minor league systems a la' baseball, something they are loathe to do.I don't know man. I watch the NBA playoffs and its makes me realize that college ball still has rules in place to allow it to be a rock fight. The game is about player movement, ball movement and putting it in the hoop. The NBA allowed too much contact, grabbing, clutching and impeding. They fixed it and its resulted in a much more entertaining product IMO.
