re: How much will the lower shot clock effect the game next year?

Pump the brakes, these arent NBA players, they are college players. 24 seconds is a bit TOO fast and an NBA 3 point line would effectively kill the 3 pointer in college basketball.

This.

30 sounds like a good medium to me between the current clock and the NBA clock. 24 seconds is a fast clock and the NBA is a VERY different animal than college basketball. 24 would be bad for college basketball as far as I'm concerned.

I also enjoy the 3 point line exactly where it is. The line just got pushed back to its current distance not long ago. College basketball had the high school 3 point line for a very long time and the game was still fantastic. The 3 point line is fine.

As for the arc in the paint I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other and will be interested to see how it's extension impacts the game. College basketball is not in need of wholesale overhaul IMO.

Another thing I've always liked about college basketball is the 40 minute game clock. I prefer it to the NBA's 48 minute clock.
