Fed vs NCAA Womens rules differences

[justacoach]

No. 1 son will be doing women's college games this season. Aside from closely guarded and shot clock, what are thr main differences vis-a-vis Fed???

TIA

Where the rulebook says, "He/She", change it to, "She". Where the rulebook says, "Him/Her", change it to, "Her".

Sorry. I'm just being a wise guy. If I didn't do it, we all know that Mark Padgett would do it eventually. I'm sure that somebody will be along in a few minutes to give you what you're looking for. I'm just an NFHS guy.

You can find most of the differences towards the back of the NFHS Basketball Rule Book. They have a nice chart that gives the major differences. Good Luck! Kevin

There is also no ten-second count in the backcourt.

Other than way that technical fouls work at the NCAA level, there aren't many differences in the NCAAW rules and the NFHS rules.
The biggest transition will be to the signals and mechanics. Even the PCAs are different.

One other rule difference which jumps out to me is that a blarge does not result in a double foul. The officials get together and go with the call made from the primary official.

That's true, but I wouldn't just go with that info ONLY, as it is NOT specific about everything. Seriously recommend picking up the CCA Womens book.

I'm thinking No. 1 son already has one or will be getting one when it's available since he is working NCAA-W games this season.

I think the OP wants a quick reference list for a bystander.

That's cool, I was just saying not to take what the HS rulebook differences page says as gospel. I heard about a guy that did that & he doesn't need to know the differences anymore... if you know what I mean.

But to answer the question as best as I can:

No b/c count
c/g only when holding the ball
35 second shot clock
L has the corner & also pops the whistle prior to administering all throw-ins (sideline below the FT line too)
T chops on all throw-ins
Some excellent signals that describes what happened ie: hit to the head, tripping, etc.

That's all I can think of now.

The shot clock is only 30 seconds in NCAAW.

Thanks gents! 30 shot clock & c/g count within 3 ft while holding the ball anywhere on the court. The never ending learning process...

Thanks, Nevada:

Could you expand on TF and IF administration and note anything that varies between NCAA-W and NCAA-M in these aspects?

Appreciatively...
