After a 4 day investigation into whether College Basketball should move from a 35 second shot clock to a 30 second shot clock to improve scoring it was decided the move made the best choice for College Basketball. Increase scoring leads to more cheering, more watching of the games which all comes down to more money for the College's.
Also rulings were made on timeouts taking them from 5 down to 4.
Also stricter enforcement of play coming out of a time out and after players have fouled out.
Team timeouts prior to 30 seconds of media timeouts will become media timeouts, with the exception of the first timeout in the 2nd half of the game.
The rules committee also will ask officials to enforce rules against physical contact and to give the same verticality protection to offensive players that is accorded defenders.
As per the committee's decision, the 2016 NIT Tournament will also feature an experimental rules change, allowing players six personal fouls instead of the five the game currently allows.
The no-charge arc will be expanded from three feet to four feet, which is the standard in the NBA.
Among the less impactful (but still logical) changes that are proposed:
1. Eliminating the prohibition against dunking in warm-ups.
2. When officials review a potential flagrant foul, any faking by the allegedly fouled player will be penalized.
3. Minor technical fouls, such as hanging on the rim, will be penalized by one free throw.
4. Elimination of the five-second closely guarded rule.
5. Allowing officials to use reviews to check if the shot clock has been violated.
6. Removing the ability of coaches to call timeouts when the ball is in play.
All rules must be approved by the NCAA playing rules oversight committee. Most often, this is a technicality, although when rules changes involve alterations to the playing surface -- as in the chase of the extended charge arc -- there may be a denial or a request for a delay.
