More changes geared towards speeding up the game. Who was pushing the 3-point line and lane changes?

The only one I am interested in is the move to quarters from halves. It will be interesting to see what (if any) difference it makes in the flow of the game.
I wonder if the "team fouls" also resets at the end of each quarter?
Yes, they do. I read it as each team enters a 2 shot bonus after 5 fouls per quarter. No 1 and 1.
Based on this sentence, I believe that fouls reset each quarter.
"For each quarter, two free throws are awarded once a team reaches five fouls."
Oops, too slow, I see that Spoon House got here first
I don't like the shot clock only resetting to 20 sec after an offensive rebound. That's not a good one. Why should a team get punished for getting an offensive rebound and then not get to have a full possession on offense
The one thing that really drives me nuts in college basketball....is the allotted time a team has to replace a player that has fouled out of a game....I believe they have 1 min. to sub in a replacement for the player that has fouled out...time starting from when the official gives the official scorer the signal to start the clock...this is like a time out....teams go to the bench and huddle up while the coaching staff kind of acts like they are trying to figure out who to put into the game....limit the time a coach has to replace a player that has fouled out and DO NOT let the teams huddle up with coaching staff during this time....keep the game moving.....rant over
I still like 1-1's -- make them earn the 2nd shot.
in addition, limit the time the officials are at the monitor to review a play. that seems to kill the game faster than anything else. there should be a 4th official that checks the monitor when requested by the floor officials and only the 4th official can keep or reverse the call; the floor officials never get to see the monitor.
Agreed. The first 10 seconds of the shot clock (after a made basket) are just the PG bringing the ball up the court and setting everyone up into proper positions. Resetting to 30 after an OReb was essentially giving teams "more" time than they originally had.i kind of like it. you don't have to bring the ball up the court so why do you need the full shot clock?

The rule change I'd like most is removing the arc under the basket where taking a charge becomes a blocking foul. That's one of many rules that penalize good defense--the "impeding the cylinder" call that went against us at RU is another egregious one. The defense does everything they're supposed to do on a double-team, but somehow the offensive player is supposed to be given room?
And get off of my lawn!!!
Wasn't there a reason (safety?) they extended the restricted arc?
I think the rationale is that it keeps defenders from sliding underneath a jumping player, which can be dangerous. I get that, but I also don't remember that being a huge issue before the arc was extended.
what would the arc have to do with that? if the defender doesn't have his feet set, it's a block regardless of where the arc is. the spirit of the difference between block and charge is who was there first.
Why would a wider lane do that? 3 seconds in the lane would be called more. The offense will have to spread out more, but it doesn’t necessarily change what the defense will do.
