Official NCAAM and NCAAW Proposed Rule Changes for 2013-14 Season

[Texas Aggie]

It would have been easier had they just eliminated the player control foul, which is what most want to do anyway.

From what I found out from the classroom session with Debbie Williamson this past weekend:

Administering official will bring in subs. They will have the whistle, and hold their hand in the air until there are 5 vs 5 on the floor. (We did this at camp this past weekend, and, let me tell ya, I felt like a doofus holding my hand in the air for myself to bring in subs.)

Rule 4 will go from about 70 articles to about 35-40. They are moving things around to make them easier to find. Now you have to go to 3-4 different rules to read about the free throw, whereas in the new rules books all you'll have to do is go to Rule 8 only.

Rule 11 will be Monitor articles.

There will be two separate books for the men's and women's rules. Case books will be separate as well.

There will be a new 10 second count in the backcourt if the ball becomes dead and the offense still has the ball. So you will then go off of what the shot clock says when the ball is put back in play. (Clock awareness is going to be crucial here.)

Under 30 seconds (when the shot clock is off), there will be a visible 10 second backcourt count by the Trail official.

I think that was the main stuff besides what the OP has in their post.

Just to want to make sure I'm clear on this. Any time the ball achieves backcourt status the time on the shot clock at that moment will determine your new 10 second count? And there will be no visible 10-second count unless the shot clock is off?

that's what I heard, too. Note that this can give a team more (up to .9) than 10 seconds to get the ball across if it becomes dead after the clock has started.

And, the specific mechanics on bringing in the subs are still being developed -- and I agree it was strange.

This is correct. The trail will have to know what the shot clock is on in order to have a proper 10 second count every time the ball achieves backcourt status.

Debbie did say that the Center can help with this, but they want the call coming from the trail unless the Center is ABSOLUTELY SURE that more than 10 seconds had elapsed while the ball is in the backcourt.

Although Debbie would have a better idea of what she was looking for than an other member of the rules committee

Debbie watched games at Marie's camp for a day... She provided information with how they wanted it to be done. The Center or Trail (whoever brings the subs in first), will raise their hand to initially bring them in, but then pass off the hand in the air to the administering official. Much like we do now when we pass the hand in the air off to the Center official when we are going long.

Consider this work-in-progress to be no longer progressing. I've just received emails from two different assignors today that states that we will not be using the new mechanic with bringing in subs for the remainder of the summer and the 2013-14 season.

On other thing regarding resets: if we have to stop the game while the ball is in the backcourt due to a timer error (i.e., the game clock starts but the shot clock doesn't) the offense gets a new 10-second count. So again, clock awareness will be big.

NCAAM = 10-second count begins when the ball is CONTROLLED by an inbounds player from Team A in their backcourt.

Given that TC exists on a throw-in, the way the women are handling it makes sense.

This is correct for NCAAW - it was a big topic in a camp I was at last weekend.

Does that mean now there will be a difference in when the shot clock should start after a made basket between the men's and women's game?

Nope. That's already in NCAA 2-11-5 (Duties of shot-clock operator) which hasn't been changed.

Start the timing device when a player inbounds legally touches or is touched by the ball on a throw-in or when a team initially gains possession from a jump ball, an unsuccessful try for goal or when possession of a loose ball is gained after a jump ball or unsuccessful try for goal.

So...in NCAAM the ball could touch a member of Team B on a throw-in in the backcourt, both teams could scramble for it in the backcourt for 10 seconds, Team A could then recover the ball in the backcourt and Team A would still have 10 seconds to advance the ball to the frontcourt.

In NCAAW, that same play would be a violation once 10 seconds ran off the shot clock.

Supposedly the Men will be using the shot clock also.

Had this confirmed at a camp over the weekend.
