[QUOTE="KrushCow31, post: 1381997, member: 533722"] [b]NIT Rules Changes[/b] So I just got back from an NIT game. Here were the rules: 3pt line moved back to FIBA distance 20 second shot clock on offensive rebound Free throw lane extended to NBA Length 4 Quarters, fouls reset ever quarter, 5 fouls for bonus The 4 quarters thing really changed momentum I thought. Created 4 last second shots instead of 2, and the possession arrow determined possession at the next quarter as well. ND got into the bonus the 1st quarter but then not the 2nd quarter, but would have been in double bonus if it had been normal. The time between the quarters was freaking forever as well. The 3 point shot line changed the entire game I felt. Guys were shooting way less 3s and more long 2s(probably out of habit). Also shooting percentages for 3s were way down, which seems obvious. This led to way less stupid 3s and more down low ball movement and fast break stuff. So good thing or bad idk, but both teams did not take many 3s. The free throw lane change looked ridiculous. College guys are much smaller. They looked humorously far apart. Huge advantage to the team defending the free throw. In fact, Notre Dame didn't even bother putting guys on the lane when they were shooting their own free throws because Brey thought it smarter to just set up their defense instead. The offensive rebound rule seemed to have little to no impact on the game. *Edit: Title should be Rule Changes not Rules... Whoops. [/QUOTE]
