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?

Very good point you bring up. Perhaps they have provisions for this. I would hope so.

Does anyone know where/when we can get our hands on the new published NCAA rules?

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.

Like every other NCAA rule book, the basketball rules will be on the NCAA site as a PDF, which you can download for free.

I believe it addresses the potential tactic of having a poor FT shooter exaggerate the effect of a foul in order to allow the coach the chance to insert the team's best FT shooter....then sub him back out after making the 2-3 FTs (replacing him not with A1 but with a better defender or all around player).

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've nearly got it. "A solution in search of a problem" scans better.

i believe the committee was close to getting this right, imo. i think they should have instead allowed the opposing coach to select from the bench if it is for a common foul, and then allow the offended coach select from the 4 on the floor if it is an intentional and allow the offended coach to also select from any player eligible if it is a flagrant. JMO

And if it occurs in the 3rd quarter on a Tuesday during a full moon...

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.

Your opinion is noted, even if I think it's wrong.

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?
