What new rule will have the biggest effect on college BB?

[Halldan1]

1. 30 second shot clock

2. 4-foot arc

3. Reduction in time outs

4. Elimination of the 5 second rule

5. No resetting the 10 second clock in the backcourt

6. Greater emphasis on reducing physical play

7. Coaches not being able to call time outs

 

[bluemoments]

6, 5, 7, 1, 4, 3, 2

Most importantly, players can now dunk in pre game.

 

[Halldan1]

I'll agree with #6, Especially in the first season. Like two years ago the refs have a mandate to clean up physical play and I fear early in the season and probably beyond the same whistle fest that we had in 2013/14.

Could hurt teams with limited depth as there are going to be a lot of games where players get two quick fouls on them. Meaning the bench for the rest of the half.

Let's hope it's not like our opener a couple years against Niagara. I literally had to leave the arena as I couldn't take it anymore.

It has to be #6 and I agree with Dan that it probably will mean more players will be in foul trouble quicker and that a team will need more quality depth . My hope is that the refs don't get so whistle happy that it comprises the way the game is played. Just one other thought and that is the players are going to have to quickly adjust to how tightly a game is being called and not get frustrated to the point where their whole game is affected.

BTW, Willard noted Wed that the school will be paying for three ref crews 7 times this preseason to help his team understand the impact of the new rule (#6).

I agree with #6 if the refs start calling fouls every 10 seconds it could make the game unwatchable. However, if called correctly, this may not be the game changer. This is very referee driven.
As a whole, I think #5 will have a greater impact than what people think. When you take no resetting the 10 second clock in the back court and the reduction in the shot clock, I think you are going to see more teams going full court pressure. This could lead to more wide open games.

 

[Halldan1]

Aggressive full court pressure can get you into quick foul trouble. I like the Hall's approach. Soft pressure to take valuable seconds off the clock giving the offense less time to run their plays.

Is this different than the rule change two years ago or just reinforcing it?? It was applied egregiously initially, and SG feasted off of it to get to the foul line. Of course then he got the yips later in the season and couldn't hit a FT to save his life.

When I spoke to Willard at Big East Media day he told me that no one really knows what the refs are going to do. That's why he has 7 different three man groups coming in before the start of the season to ref individual scrimmages.

Dan, Isn't there a Director of Officiating for the BE? I would think that it would be beneficial for that person and the BE coaches and their staff to get together so how the rule change is going to be called and what will trigger a foul call can be explained so the coaching staffs can educate the players on their respective teams.

Already done. But there's no way anyone is going to really know what will happen until the games start. Rules are often nothing more than interpretations by individuals.

Quote from Willard to me Wed...

They say they're going to call it by the book but what is the book ? I think that's going to be a worry for everybody.

Thanks for the fast response.

Those are some pretty big changes.

No timeouts by coaches, but greg marshall will still find a reason to walk 10 ft on the court LOL

I agree with this post. But a few years ago when they tried to enforce this, the refs seemed to back off as the conference games started and as the season continued. Will that happen again?

Well if Willard says that no one knows what the refs will do it must be absolutely true.

Because surely there's nothing that Willard is unaware of that other coaches know. Oh wait. Check that. Theres actually a universe full of things that Willard doesn't know that most every other coach does know.

Wondering......did he say the same thing about teaching interior defense? "No one really knows how..."

 

[Bobbie Solo]

we certainly know he doesn't have much info about inbounds plays, how to close a sought-after recruit, running an offense that gets the ball inside the free throw line, playing a man defense, showing mental toughness, keeping players calm in the midst of a run with solid in-game, sideline coaching or managing egos when the games are over.

Are you a @#$% in real life as well?

From most impact to least: 6, 5, 7, 3, 1, 2, 4.

#5 (no resetting the 10 second clock) will benefit well coached pressing/defensive teams. Could result in anywhere from a 2-8 point swing.

 

[bluemoments]

#5 is a tough one to figure. You have to figure that team are practicing press breaking more in pre season than before so it may not be that.

I also go back and forth on #4, the elimination of the 5-second rule while dribbling. That could give certain guards a tremendous advantage but not so much for others of them.

One thing about guards pounding the ball. They better be going north and south because if not they are just burning valuable time off the shot clock. That's why I would play more zone than man.

I also think with the shorter shot clock and our guards being strong penetrators you might see a lot less of the 3 man weave at the top of the key. I know that will make an awful lot of us happier.

 

[pmulcahy96]

I definitely think you will see a lot more quick hitters on offense.

6. Greater emphasis on reducing physical play

Was it two seasons ago when they started to enforce hand-checking? God, that was tedious. Terrible to watch games that are being stopped every 15 seconds by the officials' whistles. Bring back the old Big East and 6 fouls.
