Ways to fix College Basketball

Widen the lane 6" and go to the NBA 3 point line. This would do wonders for the game.
Also allow a player to continue to play after 5 fouls. But every foul he commits after 5 is two shots and the ball back.

Keep playing after 5 fouls.....Congratulations, we have the moron of the day winner.
 
Couple calls to improve BB.
  • Call the foul on the offensive guy dribbling, pushing off with his fore arm to get separation.
  • Call the charge more often under the basket when the offensive guy lowers his should to get separation.
  • In regards to fouls, let the stars play. If they get 5 fouls, give the player 3 free throws after the 5th foul. I also liked the idea of 2 free throws and the ball out of bounds.
  • Also like the idea of option to shoot free throws or take the ball out of bounds.
  • Also like the 4th ref in the replay booth correcting ref mistakes. Should never have a game decided by the ref.

We have a co winner of moron of the day award. No way a player should play after committing 5 fouls.
 
I'm typically a traditionalist but I'm curious to see how the 4 quarter experiment goes for mens hoops here soon.
 
I would favor having a "4th official" or review guy at the scorers table. He can look at a play and decide weather it was the right call. Coaches challenge could be nice.

With all due respect, that sounds awful. College refs are going to be terrible no matter what, so change the rules to minimize their impact. Having 4 quarters and reseting the fouls is a good start.

I was thinking more of the "judgement" calls that go often missed. For example Iowa vs Minny if there would of been a review official, they could of looked at it and determined Player A was OB and therefore no jump ball.

Also I would say this way the guy could look at a replay right away on tipped balls OB or possession type of plays. Instead of having the officials go over to the scoreboard, wait 2-3min for the prompter to work, and then decide. This guy could look at it real quick and keep the game flowing. All these reviews are basically Time-outs for the teams and they already have 4-5 of those a game. No need to waste anymore time.

Quarters would be nice, but NCAA will never go to that. They like the halves and since the Women did it first, no way the NCAA will follow suit. They will be stubborn like always.

I am assuming that you are a Hillaryocrat that thinks you can win by insulting people or you are a pre puberty teenage boy. Why don't you debate ideas instead of calling people names. I know, I stooped to your level. Apologies, but felt it was necessary since the moderators won't kick your type of poster off the site.
 
Some good ideas on the rule changes.
But I don't like the idea of unlimited fouls to keep the best players in idea. Part of game philosophies is to get the opponents best player on the bench. Thus the players need to play the game correctly and not get bailed out.
 
I want quarters, FIBA paint, 8 fouls = foul out.

College refs suck and for those of you saying you don't want them to call a game like NBA refs...you're crazy. Have fun watching whistles every possession & laughable on the floor calls instead of an And-1. You people clearly don't watch NBA & probably haven't seen a game with good flow in 10+ years.
 
Letting a player continue after 5 fouls but giving the opponent bonus FTs or possession after subsequent fouls would lead to interesting coaching decisions, I'll give it that. There would have to be a way to keep the player from sitting on the bench until coming back in for the final offensive possession, though. Maybe once you get five fouls the other team gets the 3rd FT or whatever the bonus is, plus once you leave the game with 5 fouls you're done and can't come back in (like baseball)

My actual two ideas to improve things are call fouls like the rule book reads (no basketbrawl/MSU style) and stop delaying the game for meaningless 0.7 second clock adjustments until under 30 seconds (or some other threshold). Spending 3 minutes to reset the clock from 2:12 to 2:14 or 42.3 to 42.8 has ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING ON THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME!

Ways to fix college basketball?...........

Let Iowa win more national championships (preferably in the very near future).


Holy crap that game last night was an embarrassment. Glad we won (also glad were going to be part responsible for Crean's firing), but I would rather not watch a free throw contest for an entire half/OT. I watch a ton of NBA and the flow of the game is so much better than college, it's not even close.

One simple solution would be to finally go to 4 quarters where the fouls reset. I'm tired of teams getting in the bonus with 15 minutes left in the half. Also, reset them going into OT. Let the players make plays instead of living at the line.
What was the score of the All-star game?

Keep whatever that was away from any level that qualifies as amateur (not professional or semi-pro).

I voted for Trump, I am a Deplorable....You can't have someone continue playing after committing 5 fouls. It's such a stupid idea. It makes both team make changes to the way they play. If a big guy is in foul trouble, and the offensive team is trailing, you can go inside, try to make him commit another foul, get an easy bucket. Letting players keep playing with a no limit on fouls, is just dumb.

LOL, you're really going to use the All Star Game as an example.

Now I get the stupid comment. You are just like Trump and say what ever is on your mind without thinking that their might be 2 sides to every story.

On to the topic at hand. The plus side to letting them play after 5 fouls is it gives teams a chance to beat the Blue Bloods who have talent 10-13 players. Players want to win championships. They know their chances are greater on Duke than it is with Iowa. Fouling out the star player limits the underdogs chances of competing.

The other note is that this limits the refs chances of deciding the outcome with a marginal call. I hate how refs can decide games with who they call fouls on. Another aspect is when a ref calls a ticky tack foul on someone who is on a hot streak. They put them on the bench. Changes the dynamics of the game. So there are some GOOD points on allowing them to keep playing.

It's so stupid to let someone keep playing after committing 5 fouls.

To use your logic, I think we should switch it to 3 fouls, or 2 fouls. Why is 5 a magical number? And your answer cannot contain the word stupid. Please try using some reasoning skills.;)

does this mean you are a trumpotard? lol
 
Yes because it makes my point even if it's selective.......

Adam Silver mentioned in interview during the all-star break that they are going to revisit the age limit during the next round of negotiations and the league would like to see it increased to two years out. However, I think it will depend on how strongly the union feels about it, because I don't think the league will be very willing to dig in over this issue.
This actually might happen. I do some contract work for the D-League and there is a lot of investment into that league to more closely mimic the MLB farm system.

So if a kid just flat out doesn't want to go to school the D-League and overseas leagues are an option. If he wants to immediately continue his education after high school, then there is a multi-year "commitment."

MLB is either enter the farm system or commit to three years in college, right?
 
1. Quarters, for the reasons already mentioned about flow, timeouts, TV timeouts, etc.
2. A 4th ref watching on TV who can correct mistakes that aren't judgment calls, ie; the non-granted time-out/standing OB in the Minny game comes to mind, among the dozens of other things we've all seen in every conference in the country.
3. Two additional ice-cream machines with wider-mouth cones.
You're a GD genius and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

no, no , no, the blue bloods have the same advantage / disadvantage with 6 fouls. they are going to be more agressive with no foul limit , not smart.
