Proposed changes to NCAA basketball rules range from benign to frustrating
The NCAA basketball rules committee left its major idea, breaking the game into quarters, on the table on Friday.
The committee’s proposals to the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel range from the benign (expanding the coach’s box on the sideline) to the frustrating (expanding the use of replay in the last 2 minutes of the second half or overtime).
The oversight panel will consider the proposals in June. The idea of splitting the game into four, 10-minute quarters (instead of two, 20-minute halves) did not gain any traction after the NCAA experimented with it during the NIT.
For the 32-team NIT this past March, the actual timing of the game didn’t change but the team fouls were reset at the 10-minute mark of each half. That helped avoid some of the problems from the championship game of the NCAA tournament when the game devolved early in each half into a free-throwing shooting contest.
