NCAA rules changes announced

[Scrapper1]

Men’s basketball rules committee recommends restricted area arc - NCAA.org

1) A restricted area arc, 3 feet in radius
2) Changing "intentional" and "flagrant" fouls to "Flagrant 1" and "Flagrant 2" fouls.
3) Formal warning for delay when not returning to play promptly following a time-out. After a warning, the RPP will be used.

Remember, these are still in the recommendation phase, unlike the NFHS in the other thread. The NFHS has actually approved their rule changes.

And for NCAAW:

1) Move three point line back a foot (to the Men's line)
2) Restricted Area Arc
3) "Flagrant 1" and "Flagrant 2"
4) Experimental -- 10 second back-court count

It's a proposal/recommendation from the Rules Committee...

"All recommendations must be approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which is scheduled to meet via conference call June 9."

I wonder why the committee decided on three feet versus four feet like the NBA? Also, I'm not surprised that they've recommended expanding the restricted area from directly under the rim to the current proposal. I also think the rule was a freaking joke without having the restricted area marked. I do think that this rule will definitely be passed. I do wonder if they'll word the rule to mimic the NBA as far as when the RA goes into effect/doesn't (secondary defender, plays originating in a lower defensive box, player alights, overt movements, etc)?

As for flagrant one vs flagrant two, I don't see this one as a big deal and it'll be easier for the fan since it'll be similar to the NBA terminology.

It does remove the implication that an intentional foul can only be called if the act was intentional vs. a foul for excessive contact.
