The rule change that is actually needed is moving the 3 point line back. As it is, there are too many players shooting close to 50%, so that many games are not decided by which team plays better, but by which team gets hot at the right time outside. The current distance awards 50% more points for a shot that is not, for a skilled shooter, 50% more difficult. Let them shoot from NBA distance and earn the 3 points.

Yeah, I totally disagree with this. If you set the line at 100 attempts per season, only 27 players were above 45% from 3 last year. If you move the line back to NBA distance, the NCAA game will become a mess to watch. Defenses will treat most offensive players like they're Bowen and dare them to shoot the 3, clogging all driving lanes in the process. That's the recipe for a foul and brickfest... ON EDIT - Also, anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but even DSR seemed uncomfortable shooting from more than 2 feet behind the current NCAA line. I actually think Tre would be our best NBA three shooter based on evidence this season.

By that logic, TV coverage is an unnecessary part of the game and should be gotten rid of. Media timeouts have been a part of the game for years - changing the way they are applied so that in essence a team looses a time-out if they call it at a certain time is unfair to teams that try to gain that extra bit of rest by strategically timing their own called TOs. I get that the same rules will apply to everyone so it is not genuinely unfair in the context of any single game, but we have worked out a strategy that helps us rest players by "doubling up" TOs and now they are eliminating the rule that makes that possible. Oh, I know they've been around for a long time and that TV is part of the game. (Indeed, I'm somewhat surprised that the committee would recommend something that presumably at least marginally reduces the opportunity for revenues through commercials.) So, I understand they need to exist. I just think the double stoppage in play (particularly when both are full time-outs, which is often (though not always) the case) is such a sap on the flow and excitement of the game that I'm all in favor of the move here. If it has some negative strategic impact on us, I still think it's the right move for the overall game. "Rewind the DVR to Wisconsin’s semifinal conquest of undefeated Kentucky. The final four minutes included five timeouts – one media and two by each team – and one player fouling out. Total elapsed time: 18:30. Alas, such an end-game is more routine than unusual – here’s the Arizona Daily Star’s Greg Hansen rehashing the flurry of stoppages in last season’s Arizona-Gonzaga game -- as coaches hoard TOs. Moreover, both John Calipari and Bo Ryan had a timeout remaining, showing the rules suggestions are not a magic elixir." www.dailypress.com/sports/teel-blog/dp-teel-time-hoops-rules-changes-post.html#page=1

Why get rid of the one-and-one, women's hoops committee? It's a cool part of the game.
It'll be interesting to see how the new 5-second close-guard rule changes defense strategy. IIRC Mick Cronin's Cincy and Huggie Bear's WVU teams play a lot of trap to try to force TOs and 5-sec calls.
I don't really agree with going up to 6 fouls during regulation, but I WOULD like to see players get an additional foul in overtime.

So true but wish they could go farther and allow those who are drafted to come back prior to signing with an agent or team. I know that coaches do not like waiting until June/July to find out who is returning but they could establish their own rule for that event. In the meantime, there is nothing that precludes a coach from waiting until summer to pick up a transfer and recruit over a player. There is also nothing that prohibits a coach from "transferring" to another school or the NBA at any time. I am certain players hate that contingency. Why not bring everyone the same level of freedom?

Why not bring everyone the same level of freedom? There's not that same level of freedom because it's coaches voting on rules for coaches. The rules used to be a lot more flexible. Randolph Morris entered the 2006 draft, went undrafted and became an NBA free agent, but was allowed to return to school. Ended up playing in the 2007 NCAA tournament and a week later was in the NBA: sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-morris121106The rule they're proposing as some revolutionary, player-benefitting proposal is just a partial reversal of a rule they changed four years ago: sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=6444510
