NCAA Basketball Proposed Rule Changes

The NCAA finally did something right.

The NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee made several proposals that should improve college basketball. An explanation of them is below, and I give my thoughts on how it should improve the game.

Timeout Changes

Other #MBBRules proposals include eliminating coach-called live ball timeouts and 10 second backcourt timer will not reset with timeout.

Thrilled about this one. This proposal alone should save several minutes by itself. If a timeout is only supposed to be 30 seconds or a minute, then that's all the team should get.
