Is it horrible? No. But does it improve the game? No.

Plus, the rationale in red is complete BS. It doesn't define GT any better. It was perfectly clear under the previous rule. The real reason for the change is that it's what everybody already thinks it is. So instead of educating the coaches, players and media, they change it to what it's "supposed" to be, according to the people who have no idea about it.

It probably will make it easier to call in a few cases per season, but I don't think it really needed fixing.

See post #12 in the other thread. The rule is already in the book, is it not?!?

Proposed NCAA rule "Coach the block came after it hit the glass... bucket".
Rule, leaves no room for discussion.

Dream on.

Rebuttals to my initial answers don't generally get a reply from me. I answered the question & now I'm going the other way. The interaction has ended & if coach persists then I hit him/her with "You made your point now let's move on".
Further discussion on the same subject, well, that's what Ts are for.

Breakaway rims...are they talking about those rims you can pull down on and they just snap back that are currently installed on every basket in the world? And the NCAA is finally getting around to requiring them?

Or is it something else and I'm being dim witted (again)?

Edit: Okay, my bad. I looked it up and movable rings are not currently required in either HS or NCAA rules. I'd have bet $100 that they were.

Regarding the GT provision--I'm wondering if the official still must make a judgment that the ball has a chance to go in.

If so, there is still plenty of room for debate.
