NCAA Experimenting w/ New FT Rules in NIT

[ColonelRutgers]

I personally don't like fooling with the game and don't want the college game to resemble the NBA (which I hate) but this would be a god send to us right now. No one and ones. Less free throws possibly.

Without calling them quarters, they essentially create quarters where in each quarter you don't shoot FTs until the 5th foul and then it's 2 shots. No more one and ones. Not sure if this is what the women's game is doing (although they actually have quarters now) because I haven't been paying attention to the women's game.

Boooo

Very similar to the international game. Over here for school ball on the fifth foul of the half ( only 15 minute halves) fouls are all two shots. I like it and it does move the game along and makes you teach better defense.

WBB is so popular now they're changing MBB to it more exciting and fan friendly. [banana]

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

The games are 2 hours, no need to make them faster. If you want to teach teams to play better defense you don't reset fouls 3 times. The 3 1 and 1s puts an emphasis on foul shooting which can be an equalizer.

It seems like all the new rules lately help the super athletes and the schools that go for 1 and dones.

As much as it would certainly seem to help RU right now, it also takes away another skill that should be encouraged not eliminated.

HATE IT !!!!!

Quarters suck and ruin the flow of the game. Two halves in 2 hours. Keep the FTs and the 1and1s are fine. No reason to change this.

terrible...between this and the baseball rule changes being proposed. YOU'RE RUINING EVERYTHING!

The reason to speed the game is for TV. Many times games run 2 hours and 10-15 mins. Since TV tries to use a 2 hour window for hoops they are sometimes forced to miss the start of the next game.

Last week I was out on Wed night. I was about 30 mins from home and the RU game had about 5 mins left. That 5 mins of playing time in a close game took almost the entire 30 mins.

 

[bac2therac]

the reason is timeouts and commercials and replays. I hate this idea and will hate even more if they push the stupid quarters thing that they did in the womens game. Part of the fun is the whole one and one thing toward the end of the game that can get you back into the game. Eliminating a whole strategy of fouling is sort of like changing the game itself....sad

My dad and I were watching the other day.

Dad thought it was over because it was a 4 point game with 48 seconds left.

I told him there was a lot of game to be played and that the next 48 seconds would take 10 minutes.

It literally took 7 minutes.

Having not watched college basketball seriously since his NCAA office pool days (he's been retired for several years now...) he was pretty amazed at my prophecy.

For Rutgers sake, the NCAA should eliminate FTs all together and allow the fouled team the opportunity to make a layup with their non dominate hand. Of course I am only kidding, but it would generate more points for us....I think.

If they just enforced the rules game would be more fun.

#1 Hand checking outside of key is automatic foul.

#2 No such thing as a charge in the key, but only call clear body fouls.

I want offense, nothing is worse than watching slow down foul em basketball. I am aware Melo shoots a ton of free throws. However, if they called the hand checking because he beats many off the dribble, he wouldn't have to head snap.

You play defense by getting in front of people and getting hands up. Got to stop the grabbing and pushing. You do that every game, kids who foul out will learn to stop.

Problem is refs do NOT enforce the rules the same way every game all game.

Next step.. no free throws.. every foul on the ball is 2 points (3 on a 3 point shot or 4 on a made 3 pointer and 3 on a made 2 pointer). Every foul off the ball is 2 points after the 10th foul of the half, 5th foul of the qtr.

No, I am not proposing it.. just predicting it.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Or maybe if you get fouled instead of two shots, you just have to make one to get the two points. Or one FT attempt to make three if you got fouled on a three attempt. Hope nobody reads this and gets any ideas. They should get rid of replays for anything except buzzer beaters. No block/charge replays or out of bounds calls in the last two minutes.

 

[RUfinal4]

or maybe....

choice of:

- 1 18 foot shot for 2 points
- twisting dunk over a chair

Need to start recruiting Designated Dunkers now

Anything that speeds up the game of baseball is a Godsend.

 

[Pritz99]

Don't understand how making all 1 & 1s become 2 shot fouls speed up the game. Maybe no handslapping after every FT (made or missed) would speed things up.
