Izzo & others on shot clock/adding more offense...

[rockyroad]

Imo, changing the shot clock will not make NCAA basketball "better" or more fun to watch. I hardly watch NCAA ball anymore because it really is not that much different from NBA ball, which I can't stand.

If I want to watch 350 high pick-and-roll plays, I will watch an NBA game.

If I want to watch one guy try to go one-on-5 for 20 seconds and then jack up an off-balance 3, I will watch an NBA game.

NCAA games used to be interesting because different teams brought different styles of offense to the game. Now everyone does the same thing, and that's all the same as the NBA. It's boring.

Why was Syracuse able to cause so many problems with their 2-3 zone? Because none of these teams run an "offense" - they just want to have an isolation play and let that guy try to "create" a scoring opportunity.

It has nothing to do with the shot clock. It has nothing to do with the officiating. It is coaches who want to run what the NBA coaches run.

Again, just my opinion.
