I could see them adjusting the media timeout situation so that there's a set amount of scheduled media time per game. |
-Freedom of movement: NCAA needs to be more focused on "freedom of movement" like the NBA went to a while back...too much bumping and impeding off ball. Part of the blame is with coaches but officials are the last line of defense
I agree freedom of movement is an issue. -Protect the shooter: Defenders are vertical up top, but bodying down low You do see this a little in the game. Lower body contact with arms straight up in the air. It is not call as often as it should be. -Lose the overly demonstrative gestures and gyrations: Too many officials are overly demonstrative on calls (including charges, bird dogging, out of bounds). Thinks a lot of officials are looking more and more like clowns with the actions At this level, its about getting the calls right. The problem is some lower level officials see this and thinks it is ok to do it at lower level. -Negative influence of coaches: too much negative interactions with officials...we don't allow players to do so, yet for some reason we allow coaches to go off the handle. Mandates to whack and toss (if needed) needs to occur This is an assignor issue. What I have observed is the more established (successful) coaches will get a ton of rope. |

However, I as a whole, I think we could do a better job in the following areas: + Officials are often misapplying the restricted area rule. Often demonstrating a restricted area mechanic on plays not in the restricted area. + Officials are not correctly refereeing whether a player was inside the restricted area (I have seen many calls go incorrectly both ways). + Secondary defenders are not picked up and are still laterally sliding underneath an airborne shooter - makes me question whether the official is refereeing the defense. This is obviously a new rule and I fully expect us to learn and become more experienced as it becomes a regular part of our game. I also see teams adjusting and trying to take fewer charges a la the NBA. There is a reason these calls are the hardest in the game IMO. |

The only thing I would like to see them adopt is not having the backcourt count start over if a team calls a TO (and to extend that, if the ball goes OOB). I believe it's also how FIBA handles this as well. It's not that huge of a deal either way...just addressing it since Bilas brought it up the article |

Having to burn a time out seems like more than enough of a penalty for the offense. |

And in NCAA rules with a shot clock, the shot clock doesn't reset so the real need for the 10 second count doesn't really even exist. The purpose of the 10 second count and the backcourt rule is to ensure that the offensive team doesn't have use of the entire court indefinitely (remember these both pre-dated the shot clock). With a shot clock, the duration that the offense has is already limited. They're not going to want to stay in the backcourt very long in any case. IIRC, women's NCAA rules don't even have a backcourt count of any length. |
