I know there has been some discussion in other threads but I think it might be helpful to have a thread that actually lists all this season's rule changes that pertain to actual game play (there are also a bunch of other rules that pertain to logo placement and other non-game action type issues).
I, for one, hope that the rules that are designed to help the pace of play, like the timeout reductions, make a difference. No more three hour marathons please...
Note that the rationale listed for each rule is not mine but is taken directly from the NCAA rules document.
Areas of emphasis for officiating are listed below the rules.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-8 and Court Diagram: Expand the restricted area arc from 3’ to 4’.
Rationale: Increase freedom of movement for offensive players by reducing the potential for collisions under the basket. The data and feedback received from the use of a 4’ arc as experimental rule during three postseason tournaments was positive.
1-12 and Court Diagram: Where possible, clear a 3-foot wide lane on both sides at the base of the basket stanchion.
Rationale: To provide additional space for players to regain their balance after leaving the court.
2-10.9: Reduce the time permitted to replace a disqualified player from 20 to 15 seconds.
Rationale: To increase the flow of the game.
4-1, 4-15, 4-17 and 10-1 Penalty: No longer permit offense to score on a charging foul (e.g., airborne shooter).
Rationale: Reward the defense for an offensive foul. Also, eliminate the controversial call where an official counts the basket and then awards free throws to the defensive team.
44-10.1.g and 4.10.2: Issue one team warning for the first time a team delays the game by failing to resume play immediately following the second warning horn indicating the end of a timeout or when a disqualified or injured player must be replaced.
Rationale: Under two separate rules changes, the penalty became more restrictive for exceeding the allowable time to replace a disqualified player and the allowable time to come out of a team timeout. As a result, the committee believed a coach should receive a warning consistent with other delays listed in Rule 4-10.1.a before being assessed a one-shot technical foul.
4-12.1: Permit institutions, conferences and postseason tournaments to allow six fouls on a player before disqualification as an experimental rule.
Rationale: Experiment with a rule to allow players to remain in the game longer.
4-17.4 and 4-17.6: Restrict a secondary defender who has established legal guarding position from moving sideways to maintain legal guarding position on an airborne shooter/passer.
Rationale: Codify a previously approved interpretation of the guarding rules relating to block/charge plays involving an airborne player.
4-17.6.e and A.R. 89: Make an exception to the guarding rule to allow a defender to be moving forward while airborne as long as he is moving in a direction in which he clearly will not make contact with the shooter.
Rationale: Correct unfairness by prohibiting a shooter from drawing a defensive foul by jumping sideways into a defender who would otherwise clearly miss the shooter.
4-21.3 and 4-38: Clarify that an offensive player also has verticality rights and must be given enough space by the defender to allow the offensive player to make a normal basketball move.
Rationale: Create more protection for an offensive player by restricting the defense from entering the offensive player’s vertical space.
5-14.1: Prohibit coaches from calling a timeout during a live ball.
Rationale: Prevent incorrect granting of timeouts when there is no player possession and reduce game stoppages. Coaches are still permitted to call timeouts when the ball is dead.
5-14.10: A team timeout, granted 30 seconds or less prior to a scheduled media timeout or granted after the designated time for a media timeout when there has been no stoppage in play, will become the scheduled media timeout.
Rationale: Reduce game stoppages by combining a team called timeout with a media timeout under certain situations.
5-14.10.a: Reduce the number of 30-second timeouts from four to three and permit only two 30-second timeouts to be carried over into the second half.
Rationale: Reduce stoppages in play, increase continuous action and aid in reducing end of game stoppages.
9-10: Once the 10-second count begins for the offensive team to cross the division line, the 10-second count shall be reset on all stoppages of the game clock, except when the defense causes the ball to be out of bounds, the offense retains possession after a held ball, or there is a technical foul assessed to the offensive team.
Rationale: To reward the defense and to prevent the offense from gaining an advantage that is not intended by rule. Increase pace of play.
9-11.3: Shorten the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds.
Rationale: Increase tempo of the game.
9-11.4 and 11- 2.c.2: During instant replay, allow the officials to use the shot clock, in addition to the horn, to determine if a shot clock violation occurred.
Rationale: Provide officials with an additional resource to make an accurate decision.
9-14: Eliminate the 5-second closely guarded rule for a player dribbling the ball.
Rationale: Not necessary with reduction in shot clock and eliminate inconsistent officiating for this play.
10-3.1 and 11- 2.1.d: Add “faking being fouled by an opponent” as a Class A technical foul. Such acts include, but are not limited to, flopping or sudden movement of the head in an attempt to draw a foul. However, such fouls could only be assessed after an official has elected to use instant replay to review whether a flagrant foul has been committed and, in doing so, sees a clear violation of the rule involving faking being fouled.
Rationale: Penalize this unsportsmanlike act, which is becoming more prevalent.
Appendix III, Section 4.g: Allow a defensive player to use a forearm to apply equal pressure on the back of an offensive post player per Rule 4-28.
Rationale: Permit certain defensive contact in low post on player with back to basket and provide coaching and officiating guidelines for defending post players.

2015 Areas of emphasis for officiating:
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee “agreed reducing the physicality is the most critical need to encourage a more open style of play and improve the game.
The key areas the committee will focus on in the upcoming season are:
• Perimeter defense, particularly on the dribbler and strictly enforcing the directives put in the book before the 2013-14 season.
• Physicality in post play.
• Screening, particularly moving screens and requiring that the screener be stationary.
• Block/charge plays.
• Allowing greater freedom of movement for players without the ball.”

With "4-12.1: Permit institutions, conferences and postseason tournaments to allow six fouls on a player before disqualification as an experimental rule", does that mean that everyone will be using 6 fouls this year? Definitely seems like it's optional but what will happen in the NCAAs?

Definitely seems like it's optional but what will happen in the NCAAs? It would need to be an official season-long change to be allowed in the NCAA tournament. As it states, it is an experimental rule. As I remember this has been tried before and the Big East went to six fouls at one point while most of the other conferences did not. I believe it was perceived afterwards as causing a problem because BE players had to try to adjust back to five in the NCAA tournament. |

Also known as the "Sorry Villanova/Scottie Reynolds, No More Offense For You Rule" Did you see the areas of emphasis for officiating? Those all play in to Wright's hands. supposedly, those hand checks are getting called more under the 13-14 "areas of emphasis," so this year's emphasis on sliding into cutters and dribblers might be a wash for us. My theory has long been that G-fense is physical but clean. The post emphasis this year may hurt us, especially with younguns and all, but VU is bringing in bigs next year, so I am just going to wait on that one and see how it pans out long term. I reserve the right to bitch louder than anyone when our bigs get in trouble for "physical play," which I tend to think of as ticky-tacky stuff. Too frequently the zebras don't recognize good positioning by bigs, or they allow the sideways jump by the shooter to go against the D. Is that a "basketball play?" If the shooter goes up at an angle to make such a bid, I say he takes on the risk of contact with an airborne or upward bound defender. |

Not allowing defenders to hand check at all is just absurd. The offensive player can force little bumps, but the defenders cannot counteract? Insane.
I would increase the limit to six fouls per player and make it a point of emphasis to try to call less fouls, especially on those plays that are not impacting the game.

Early on this will be a game of foul shooting. It will be flat out ugly to watch. Last year we committed 20.2 fouls per game. This was the 297th highest out of 351 teams. (We were 329th the year before.) With these new rule changes, I expect this to get worse. Over-under 25?

I asked in another thread but can anyone provide clarification on the following rule:
5-14.1: Prohibit coaches from calling a timeout during a live ball.
Rationale: Prevent incorrect granting of timeouts when there is no player possession and reduce game stoppages. Coaches are still permitted to call timeouts when the ball is dead.
Does this mean players can still call a TO or no TOs during live play?

Players on the court may call TO.

It seems as if the lawyers have gained control of the rule book. Still easier to officiate basketball than, say, race walking. No way! Only two rules in racewalking: (1) a straight knee on original contact with the ground until the leg is directly under you, and (2) have one foot on the ground at all times. Since RW is far behind in technology, rule #2 is from the judge's perspective. That is where the problem lies with RW. The top RWers are airborn most of the time, but they do it in such a fraction of a second that the judges can't see it. Super slow video shows often times shows most of the elites off the ground. But you don't need a lawyer to sort out this mess.  |

Sounds similar to the controversy in MLB with base stealers coming a fraction of inch off the base and being called out when super slow video shows the gap. |

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I keep on hearing that the 5 second rule is not in effect anymore. However, I could've sworn that Copeland was called for it in the Radford game... Is it he rule still in effect when you pick up your dribble? Or is it totally out.
