I admit that college basketball's quality of play has dwindled. The offensive game has been very limited lately. But really, if you want to open up the game, it's easy.

1. Have a 30 second or 24 second shot clock. You can run three plays in 35 seconds. That's ridiculous.

2. Extend the three point shot to the NBA's standards. This will free up driving space.

3. Make ten seconds half court to eight seconds. This will make people jog up the court, not walk the ball.

4. Have defensive three seconds. It's silly with such talented players we don't have this rule. It really frees up the NBA game and it would do the same for college.

But instead, we'll have to watch three months of **** basketball that will slow the game and make it even worse before it gets better, instead of simple solutions to fix the problems.

Or players could learn how to shoot a jumper instead of trying to "drive to the rack" just to get a dunk on SportsCenter

yeah, take the lower percentage jumper instead of trying to get the high percentage lay up/dunk.


winning coaching right there


Shot clock needs to be 24. Plain and simple. Thats how it is in Canadian college ball and they do just fine.

You obviously missed the point.

I like all but the 3 second defense rule. Personally I love a good 2-3 zone against teams that are more athletic but can't shoot.

I agree with the shot clock and especially with the defensive three second rule. Those two would speed up the game and also open the paint more.

Not sure about the 10 second or the extension of the three point line.

I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfect. Heaven forbid defenses be given chances.

Watching the UK game last night it got really annoying with all foul calls. Gonna be a boring game to watch when 60 fouls are called.
