*** 2005-06 NCAA Men's and Women's Rule Changes

The NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Committees made several rule recommendations for the upcoming season with the vast majority of the changes concerning the use of the courtside television monitor. The recommendations were presented to the NCAA’s Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) for its May 24 meeting. PROP later approved all recommendations, meaning the rule recommendations became rule changes and will be in effect for the 2005-06 season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Women’s points of emphasis.

The Women’s Basketball Rules Committee is concerned about the balance of offense and defense in the game. The field-goal percentage in Division I dipped below 40 percent overall for the first time since the NCAA began keeping such statistics during the 1981-82 season.

Displacement:
One of the ways to promote offense and establish a balance is to continue the points of emphasis crusade against displacement. Displacement, as it relates to post play, the ball handler or dribbler, cutting, rebounding and screening, is a point of emphasis for the third year in a row. The committee believes that calling the handchecking and eliminating the use of the arm bar, especially on the ball handler or dribbler, is of utmost importance.

Bench decorum:
Bench decorum is the second point of emphasis identified by the committee. Head coaches are urged to set an example for players and bench personnel in words and in actions. The head coach should be the only person on the bench communicating with the officials. The head coach should also be the only person standing in the bench area and should remain within the coaching box. Officials are instructed to respond to head coaches when an assistant coach addresses them. They will ask the head coach to please handle the assistant. That will be the warning to the head coach for the assistant’s behavior. If the assistant coach persists, the head coach will be assessed with a direct technical foul.

Men’s points of emphasis. The men have two points of emphasis for the season.

Rough play:
Rough play is once again a point of emphasis. Eliminating and reducing rough play will continue to be the goal during the 2005-06 season. Excessive contact continues to occur during post play, off the ball, in cutting and screening situations and during handchecking anywhere on the court.

Palming the basketball:
Palming will also be emphasized for the upcoming season. Offensive players palming the ball continue to gain a tremendous advantage over defensive players. Emphasis is not only to be given to the dribbler’s hand position, but also to the activity of the ball while the dribble is occurring. Palming not only occurs while the palm is facing "skyward," but can also occur while the palm is facing the floor. The key to officiating the play consistently and correctly is to determine if the ball has "come to rest" in the hand. Many offensive players are gaining a tremendous advantage by using the hesitation move to beat a defender toward the basket or just to go by them. In many of those instances, the ball is coming to rest in the dribbler’s hand. A violation must be called.
