2019-2020 NCAA Rules Changes

[ilyazhito]

I'll be going to camps to try out for men's college basketball at the JUCO and D3 levels this year. It is at least possible that I will be hired by at least one of the assigners I am trying out for. That is why I bought the current style of college uniforms, to use in camp, and for the college games that I would receive after I would be hired.

The shirt change really came out of nowhere. It would be good if someone could post a photo of the new shirt style that would be used starting this season, at least at the D1 level.

Well a tryout is one thing, but getting hired is another. Good luck with that but do not go making big investments until it is official. And it is very possible JUCO will not use the same thing D3 would use. Different organizations and they might not want everyone at the JUCO level to change all at once.

The shirt change has been rumored for a few years. And if you worked other levels like NAIA they had different requirements. But none of this has been officially announced beyond the NCAA Rules.

If it makes anyone feel better about buying new shirts, soccer refs get the pleasure of buying 5 different colors. And long and short sleeves. So when the new shirts came out, for serious level refs, that was 10 shirts at $50 a pop....

Well, you got the option of buying at $59.95 or $47.95 for the shirts, plus S&H. $50.95 for the jacket. Same price as the old one, or maybe they updated it so I wouldn't feel like I was getting bent over that hard.

This pisses me off. I could get some mesh NCAA shirts for $30. And I'm betting my D3 assignor who just sent this out is gonna require us all to get them.

Tell me about it. I work college soccer, and last year when they came out with 3 new shirts (6 shirts), new shorts, and new "one-stripe" socks, our assignor straight up said "**** that, it's old shirts or USSF." Nothing but a money grab.

Got both versions of the shirts the other day. The Performance Mesh Shirt is your basic polyester material with no "mini-holes" like a jersey. There is a cuff on the sleeve that wraps around the bicep for a snug fit.

The Body Flex Shirt has the "mini-holes" but without the cuff and the end of the sleeve. While the material is more "stretchy" than the Performance Mesh shirt, it is not that noticeable when wearing it.

Both shirts have very wide black side panels. That being said, I probably prefer the Body Flex Shirt because I don't like how the cuff on the Performance Mesh shirt makes the sleeve ride up my arm.

I ordered the jacket and performance mesh shirts. I don't see a reason to pay the extra 10-12 dollars to buy Body Flex when the Performance Mesh product looks good and performs well.

I was speaking to a JUCO supervisor at a camp a few days ago, and he said that JUCO will be adopting the new uniforms for officials and the shot clock rule changes, but will be delaying the new 3 point line. With older scoreboards, it might be difficult to do the new shot clock rules, but with the newer scoreboard controllers using 2 reset values is reasonable. As long as the operator does not press the stop button while resetting the shot clock, the 20 seconds should run as soon as the operator releases the "Reset 2" button. There should be no programming issues either, because NCAAM and NCAAW now use the same shot clock reset values.

It was like when I did college baseball when they added like 4 colors to mix at one time. And you would have to match shirts with jackets and hats which all different combinations based on the shirt. It was a nightmare. This is not as bad, but they offered a newer shirt this past year and now we have to buy a new shirt and jacket apparently.

Better stock up on NBA, WNBA, and FIBA Olympic uniforms, just in case.
