The NCAA discussed rule changes to football a few weeks ago and now it focuses on reshaping basketball rules. The biggest and most controversial is a technical foul given to players for flopping. Other changes would be increasing technology to give live stats to coaches during the game, increasing personal fouls from five to six, having the option for the shot clock to have tenths of a second displayed, and designating some called timeouts as media timeouts to increase the pace of the game.
