Question

I was just watching women's NCAA basketball and noticed on the free throws the lower player was above the block instead of below the block. I heard about a rule change on the number of players allowed on the lines for free throws.

Can one of you NCAA types enlighten us high schoolers about this rule change? Is it a plain move? Is it optional? Is it a early experiment?

Thanks.

Actually this is only an experimental rule this year. But perhaps we will see it fully implemented next year. I don't particularly care for it but if I gotta, I gotta.

Thumbs up

According to NCAA rules in order to have a "Preseason or excempt Tournament" the games must use "Experamental rules". So what you saw on TV was just that an experamental rule.

The Men this year had the "International or Trapezoidal key" and the 4foot arc under the basket like the NBA. I don't know where that will take us but the NCAA is in the process of getting all the stats and coaches comments so they will be discussing it at the spring rules committee meeting.

Good Luck

Trapezoidal key

It seemed that in the games I saw, the trapezoidal key was almost ignored with respect to three seconds. I never saw that rule applied in any of the NIT/PR/Hawaii/Alaska games that I watched this week. There were a couple of occasions where I saw players leave the "paint" but never leave the trapezoidal lane, no three seconds called, but player camped for an extended period. Should've at least made them purchase a camping permit and generate some tourist revenue! Anyone else notice this?

Doesn't NCAA have a different standard than NF - one foot out of lane sufficient? I don't have an NCAA rule book.

No. "Touching any lane line ... constitutes being in the lane."
