I suppose their trying to give guards more space to operate by not encouraging tight defense... which I agree is dumb.pretty good. dont understand waiving of closely-guarded rule
30 seconds is a good start, i'd be fine with 24. It absolutely favors (and it should) the better teams. Rules shouldn't be in place to keep lesser teams in the game- games are meant to reward the team that plays the best (usually that is the team with the the most talented players). Rules arent made so that it can allow lesser teams to hang around and then win. I think this is a good start. I would have liked to see them keep the 5 second close guard rule, but I understand why they did away with it.I'm ok going to a 30-second shot clock. I've never been in favor of 24 seconds. The 35 seconds was never a huge deal to me either, but I understand the premise and why the NCAA thought a change needed to be made. This could, IMO, be a big advantage to more talented teams. More possessions results in fewer upsets.
Really wish they could do something to stop fouling in the last couple of minutes. Also, wish they would make a rule that a team cannot call timeout if they do not possess the ball. This means that once the ball goes through the net or out of bounds, it is no longer your ball. This would end the practice of calling timeout after a foul shot , basket, or missed shot if it goes out of bounds. It would also end the practice of calling timeout when the other team is on the foul line. If we ever get this in basketball, then can we make a rule in football that the defense cannot call timeout after the offense breaks the huddle.This would end the practice of wasting 10 mins trying to ice the kicker. Good lord ,Saban would go into a rant that would last all season. He doesn't even like no huddle because he can't change his defense after every play. Add Fisher to that list.Concise summary of changes:
-30 second shot clock
-Only 3 of your 5 timeouts carry over to second half, and you may be assessed technical foul more readily if you lollygag after a timeout.
-No extra media timeout if there’s a regular timeout called within 30 seconds of that timepoint.
-Coach can’t call timeout during live play.
-Reducing the amount of time allotted to replace a disqualified player from 20 to 15 seconds.
-Restricted-area arc from 3 feet to 4 feet.
-Officials to penalize players who fake fouls.
-shot clock violations on made field goals reviewable throughout the entire game.
-Lesser technical fouls (hanging on the rim and delaying the resumption of play) are now one-shot penalties.
-Eliminating the five-second ‘closely guarded’ rule while dribbling the ball.
-Can now dunk in pregame warm-ups and at halftime (as opposed to throwing it through)
Also, potentially going to 6 foul limit in 2016-17

Yes, but it would have to have other penalties at some point. Otherwise, the team on defense would continue to foul just to stop the clock. The other team would continue to have to bring the ball back into play which can be dangerous in itself. Either way , the offense gets penalized. A 3 shot penalty might help slow down the fouling.I would like to see a change (or at least an experiment) that lets the fouled team choose whether to shoot the FTs or get the ball out of bounds.
What was the reason for dumping the 5-second call? Were the refs inconsistent about it?I wish they kept the 5 second call. I understand trying to promote more offense but I am so sick of sports trying to murder defense just to make it happen. Offense can be promoted without compromising defense, despite what many people think.
