After repeated calls for change over the past year and beyond, the NCAA men's basketball rules committee has finally heeded the demands of coaches, fans and media alike. On Monday, the NCAA officially announced that the significant rule changes proposed in May had been adopted, and would take effect this upcoming season, including a reduction in the shot clock from to 30 seconds and changes in timeouts.
These changes, or variations of them, had been the subjects of much debate, especially over the past year. And invariably, many coaches expressed their opinions too.
One of those coaches just happened to be Northwestern's Chris Collins, who's already had quite a unique taste of the game's different flavors in his basketball career.
