additional ncaa rules changes
...
The panel also addressed the perceived advantage teams had when a fouled player is injured. Previously, the shooting team's coach could select any player on his roster to take the free throws. Now, the opposing coach must select from the four players remaining players on the court. And the committee approved expanding replay to determine flagrant fouls, which would result in ejection. The rules changes will go into effect this fall. (from cnnsi.com) I see a new "perceived advantage" that may not have been thought out by the ncaa. I haven't seen the actual wording of the rule, so I could be incorrect. A1 is fouled by B1. A1 is injured and cannot shoot. B2 coach picks the free throw shooter. Wouldn't this sitch allow B coach to force A coach to leave a player in the game who otherwise might have been subbed for while also knocking A1 out of the game (temporarily). |
Yes, it appears that way. Can you imagine if A3 has 4 fouls and there was a sub already at the table waiting to go in and now A3 is forced to stay in the game to shoot free throws?

Ok, let me get this straight.
1. They think the offense needs a bit more of an advantage, so they hinder the ability of secondary defenders to draw a charge. 2. They think the offense gets too much of an advantage when a fouled player is injured, so they give the defense the opportunity to pick the shooter. It's just asking for hard fouls if you ask me. |

The change will limit the possible FT shooters to those that team A's coach was already comfortable with being on the floor (which may also include their best FT shooters) but balances it by allowing coach B to select which one shoots. As for inviting hard fouls....I would hope that the rule doesn't apply to intentional or flagrant fouls. |
If they're going to limit to the 4 on the floor, then let the offensive coach choose. Just my opinion, though. This strikes me as one of those solutions without a real problem.

You desire to make this WAY too complicated. Having multiple variations of the procedure only increases the likelihood of confusion arising and an incorrect decision being rendered. |

Why not just let the official decide if he thinks the player is faking the injury? Or have a mandatory 60 second ineligible period for any player who leaves the game due to injury when free throws have to be attempted by a substitute? |
