Recently I read an article in Referee Magazine concerning the new NCAA rule changes. Specifically I was interested in the new types of technical fouls (ie. some T's are now only one shot, and the team in possession of the ball at the time of the T will retain possession). For the most part, I agree with this new rule, and the rationale behind them. I do have a major problem however, with the penalty for calling an excessive time-out. With the new rule it seems that if team A calls an excessive time-out, team B only gets one shot and Team A gets the timeout and keeps the ball. I think that this lack of severety will lead to coaches calling excessive time-outs. I may have read the rule wrong, but doesn't it seem like team A is not penalized enough?
