Okay. We are winding down the 2004-2005 college hoops season, so I think it is time to speak up about needed rule changes.

In this thread, you get to make your suggestions about what needs to be changed, rulewise, in the game of college basketball.

Think about it, be creative, be serious, but say what you think would improve the game.

Let's talk 3-point rule, 3-point line, jump balls, dunks, timeouts; you name it and make your suggestion!

I'll start with one of my pet peeves. I hate the alternate possession rule. A team plays great defense, gets a jump ball and the possession arrow (Junk) gives the ball back to the offense. I say do away with the alternate possession rule and go back to the jump ball. Slows the game down? I don't care. I don't like the rule the way it stands!

YOUR TURN! :)

I think the 3 point line needs to be moved back in the college game. I think it should conform more to the international game.

I hate the alternate possession rule too. I would like to see the jump ball rule, but I think with everyone tossed, it might get out of hand.

Raise the rim to 15 feet, fit all players with springy shoes, and put a trampoline in the paint.

Oh, and the possession arrow has got to go.

Nobody over 6 feet tall can play and they all have to have mustaches.... :eek:

When there is a jump ball, the two players have to go to the boxing ring and fight for it. :good:

Since the three-point line is a reward for shooting so far away FROM the basket, how about only giving one point for a dunk because you are as close as possible TO the basket? :question:

How 'bout a lingerie bball league for women players that don't look like basketball players. Works for the Superbowl half time pay per view. Would make jump ball instead of possession arrow take on a whole new meaning.

how about half court shot equals 4 points. make games more interesting towards the end.

I agree with the jump-ball thing. Also I think the three point line should be moved back. However, this would spread the defense out and possibly increase inside scoring.

Move the 3 point line back 6 inches first, then if the percentages stay the same, after a couple of years, move it again.

Jump ball only on tie-ups, with the 2 principle players involved in the tie up jumping. The posession arrow would remain in effect for all other instances.

Stronger enforcement of traveling and push off calls. Lack of enforcement is what helped ruin the NBA.

Use the defunct XFL rule for determining who gets the ball. Place it at half court and have a player from team stand at opposite free throw lines. Blow the whistle and the two guys run and dive at the ball. Whoever comes up with it gets the ball.

Basketball shorts should actually be shorts (e.g. not past the knee!) :p

toss a lil hockey in the game....instead of piling up fouls, when your called for 1...you sit for 2 penalty mins, leaving your team at a 5-4 disadvantage

No women in the game under a "D" cup, can't weigh more than 145, and have to be a minimum of 5'8" tall, have blonde, red, or brunette hair, and all their teeth (white not gold), and they have to wear mini skirts with no panties.
