100%. I think they should adopt all the new rules they have been testing out in the NIT



I don't like double bonus at 5 fouls. Quarters, wider lane, deeper three point line, shot clock to 20 on offensive boards...love all of that.

So much better. Men's CBB is the only basketball league in America (and I'd guess the world) that plays 2 halves.


Not sure if you are referring to the NIT experiment but it takes some getting used to but the game seems to move along a bit. No one+ones but 5 fouls takes to the line for 2.

Agreed. I'd be fine with 6 though

I feel like just eliminating the second half of some games would have helped bama and auburn in their most recent baskettyball game as well as uga in the nattie.

You don't need a 30 second clock when you are already on that end of the floor. Speeds up the game and prevents excess clock melting on new possessions off of offensive boards. Makes sense to me though not an essential change.

3 pt line 


Because the other line is pretty damn close and I'd like to see it backed up.

Lane widening


Because it prevents log jamming the paint and creates better spacing.

That's a huge pressure-related aspect of the game. Watching those kids squirm late in the game with a 1 and 1 is priceless


1 and 1s are fantastic

Seriously, it's so much worse with the under 16, under 12, under...etc..timeouts. Then the insane dumb 7 fouls 1 and 1 rule.

Quarters with under 5 is much better
