Georgia Tech Basketball: Proposed Shot Clock Rule Will Actually Help The Yellow Jackets

There is a prevailing sentiment among basketball pundits and fans that collegiate basketball is slow, plodding, and aesthetically hard to watch.

Because of this the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee got together to propose some rule changes that would help the game become more appealing while making the game move faster at the same time.

One of the rules proposed is to shorten the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds.

If this rule is passed, it would be the second time a reduction was made to the shot clock. The last time was in the 1993-94 season when the clock was reduced from 45 to 35 seconds.
