NCAA Women's Rule Changes

I hope they just leave it like it is. Usually, the men follow what the women do, so I am hoping that they do not change it. I must say it is hard something switching between NFHS and NCAAW for me. So, that why with AAU, I do all girls ball.

I forgot to mention I much prefer two hand reporting to the one handed way. I think I heard from somewhere that the NCAA men were looking at it.

that is kind of harsh don't you think, what did Billy ever do to you?


Anyway - the shotclock is only 30 seconds and with closely guarded (holding the ball only) being in effect all over the court there is no need for a ten second back court rule.

womens teams mostly nusiance press to eat time, If the rule changed they might work on stronger presses but I prefer the way things are.

this was one of the items on the rules change survey for officials this year there were a bunch of choices including:

Back court count various scenarios
moving 3 point line back a foot
going to 10 min quarters
droping 1 &1 and moving directly to 2 shots on the 7th foul

No comment...there was enough of a discussion on this board about this

Didn't really seem to change the men's game much this year, it'd make a bigger difference if they moved it back again. The women's game could really see a change if it were moved back, at least from what I've seen this year personally.

Just a freaking excuse to take a timeout after 10 minutes. The TV folks would love this!

Hmmm, this could be a problem with the coaches, because it take strategy away from them. But easier on us zebras, then we wouldn't have to make sure the freaking table is caught up on it!

I like the women's rules as they are.
