What rule changes would you make for next year?

[cjf04]

My thoughts:

1. Minimum distance the bench must be away from out of bounds line....that's a player safety issue.

2. Don't allow coaches to talk to players that are in the game during periods of monitor reviews. Too many free timeouts for teams that always seem to be out of timeouts...seldom see this benefit Purdue.

What else ya got???

I'm the oddball because I look at the game different than entertainment.

That said I would be glad to see the clock go back to 45 seconds. The arc dropped and the three point line moved back a little farther, but could leave that line alone. Biggest thing is shot clock and then dropping the arc..dropping the flagrant if incidental head contact

Thx for ur insight....it's nice when people don't got of their way to be jerks to fellow Alum...see comment above for an example.

No problem. Actually I would
Like to see more space around the court as well. The IU gym is waaaaaaay to close to the floor. Crean is always playing D on the court and the players feet leave little room on the out of bounds when sitting on the bench

Agree with the incidental flagrant, got to give people space....also think they're going need a penalty for flopping...kid from Oregon is likely only the tip of the iceberg....

cj,

My self-deprecating "humor" and sarcasm obviously was not very good here. I can see how you misinterpreted my post, so please allow me to clarify.

I have quite often posted about a 45-second shot clock and some of the things TJ was advocating. I also respect his knowledge of the game, which exceeds mine for sure. So....the "Party of One"
was meant to refer to me, and I thought that would be implied, but that was a poor assumption on my part.....if I appeared to be disrespectful or a jerk to you or TJ, as fellow alums.....it was certainly not my intention.....please accept my heartfelt apology.

Sometimes, my attempts at humor......fall completely flat.

btw, I also like your idea about the players being kept on the floor or not having coaches use that as a time-out.

I would also do something about reviews or allow a coaches challenge, maybe in the first half.....at a cost of a time-out.

 

[arcb102000]

I like the idea posted earlier of having more space between the benches and the court. That does strike me as a safety issue.

A second idea is get rid of those spinning circles and big head things kept behind the visiting team's goal. A number of schools do it, IU among them. I have no problems with people yelling, etc. but those things are made not by fans but by the Athletic Dept of the host university. They are kept in-house between games. If you want them on the sidelines, fine, but I think that they unfairly penalize visiting teams. I also simply think that they are tacky.

I would also advocate a technical for obvious flopping....the one problem I see there is it would be subjective....the Oregon (Brooks) was an extreme example, but you'll have much closer calls, which might be borderline. I'd rather an official give a warning....I suppose in the NBA the officials just don't give the player any benefit-of-the-doubt next time.

No worries, my internet psyche is fragile from being torn apart on here on a couple occasions, no need to get heartfelt tough, save that for the wife or girlfriend, I'll settle for buying each other fake internet beers, enjoy ur night and BTFU!

 

[cjf04]

I just can't understand why a coach gets a free time out to talk to his guys in the last 10 seconds when they already burnt their TO's, simply because somebody may or may not have touched a ball last....

 

[Bethboilerfan]

Couple of things I wish would change -the flopping and the behavior of the coaches but not sure what those rules would look like. Other thing that bothers me; at Nebraska player left court twice to"throw up" and players with something stuck up their nose to soak up what one assumes is blood. Why are they allowed to continue to play? I was really concerned when we played Nebraska that one or more of our players would catch something.

Do away with the three point line. Eliminate the foul free arc. Go to a 60 second shot clock. Reward the defense. Eliminate the fan row directly behind the benches thus eliminating coaching being on the court.

 

[Purdue0034]

I like the shot clock at 35, although the 30 second shot clock didn't do as much damage as I thought it would. A 24 second shot clock however would be awful!
A sort of like the idea of 6 fouls before disqualification. Might be fewer upsets, but I think the quality of play would be improved with more playing time by top players. On the flip side however it may just lead to more free throw shooting contests. Maybe they could try it as an experiment in the first half of the non-conference season to see how it goes and then decide the following year whether or not to implement. The arc needs to be reduced to what it was previously. When they enlarged it, it became too big. As long as we have, Dakota, Ryan, PJ, Carsen and Vince, I like the 3-point line just where it is!

I agree with the 6 fouls if the refs are going to call ticky tack, 2 first half hand checks and a player has to sit...either get the refs on the same page or go to 6, too many games decided by foul trouble, it would be nice to see the best TEAM win as opposed to the best remaining players on the court win....the selection committee doesn't care about foul trouble.

I took it that you were in agreement with me and that now there were at least two of us.

I don't know how old you are, but in the later years of the old ABA they had a rule where you could play after your 6th foul. There was a risk in that any fouls after that were free throws and possession. I'm not advocating that but find it intriguing.

This is one of the few things remaining I might agree with Dickie V on. Either go to a six-foul disqualification and/or after a fifth foul, any subsequent foul is treated as intentional (two shots and possession). I'd also move the three-point line to NBA-range.

As an aside, anyone remember when the ACC experimented with its shorter 3-pt line?

 

[jadeezra]

Flops and the falling out of bounds and throwing bball off a member of the other team. Both very cheap

Yeah. Wasn't it inside the top of the key?

I would add a rule that excessive clapping results in an automatic technical.

Totally agree with you. Watched the MSU-Nebraska game last night and saw Izzo do this repeatedly.

 

[Dryfly88]

1. Change number of timeouts from 4 to 3 per team. You can still carry 3 to 2nd half. It would eliminate coaches taking the "use it or lose it" timeout late in 1st half. Help speed up play and flow in 1st half.

2. Change timeout rule from 30 seconds to 1 minute within a "TV timeout" results in no tv timeout. I love the fact they made this 30 second rule, just would like the 1 minute better. Would give much more flow to the game and more playing time between timeouts.

3. No 30 second "timeout" after a player fouls out. All players (not fouled out) stay on floor and replacement is made immediately. Speeds up play and doesn't give any free timeouts. Forces coaches to move quickly, they don't need 30 seconds to send in a replacement.

4. This one is just an enforcement issue: Make the coaches stay in the damn box! I'm sick of seeing some coaches out on the floor working refs and "coaching" from there. The game is already too much about the coaches and not enough about the players. Too much micro-managing of the game and allowing them to practically be out there with the players allows even more of that.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

1: Go to four 10 minute quarters with a 60 second break at the 5 minute mark. Between quarters would also be 1 minute.
2: Fouls resulting in a free throw would restart each quarter and begin at foul number 4 (one and one) and double bonus at 6.
3: Strict enforcement of the coaches box. Coaches who are out of the box with possession on their side should be assessed an immediate technical (one shot). One second offense, it is disqualification and two shots/possession. It's not that hard to stay in your coaches box.
4: Removal of 'timeout' when a player fouls out. Simple substitutions would do.
5: 15 minute halftime.
6: Rule that banned universities from using their own airport to fly athletes in for visits is removed...thus giving Purdue the one advantage it had over most other programs.

 

[FLAG HUNTER]

no arc under basket and when offensive player initiates the contact its either no call or offensive foul

 

[FirstDownB]

I like the 30 second clock a lot more than I thought I would. Teams are simply getting into their offense quicker.

Not a rule per se, but I'd like to see more consistency in officiating from game to game and from conference to conference.
And ban Borowski.

 

[FirstDownB]

The restricted area at least needs to be interpreted correctly. One of a mess of calls the refs blew in the Nebraska game, IH was playing 1-on-1 post defense and the Husker player jumped straight into him, resulting in a foul on IH. The tv guy said something about it being within the restricted area. Per the intent of the rule, it does not apply in this case because IH was not a secondary defender and the offensive player was not driving toward the basket.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Stagger the A-Ls one year and M-Zs the next on early entries to the NBA. After this year only A-L last names can leave. All others, including S have to wait another season.

 

[Pharmer98]

I would like to see them relax the requirements for what is considered a legal screen. Illegal screens are one of the most inconsistently officiated calls in my opinion. I looked for the official NCAA definition of legal screen, and I can't find it. However, I saw a blog discussion regarding legal/illegal screens that said that the rules define how closely a screener can set the screen to a defender based upon whether the screener is in the defenders field of vision. Can that be true? Is the official really supposed to be able to determine what the defender can actually see?

It also drives me crazy when you see a terrible call on one end of the floor, and you can just tell that the officials are about to make up for it. Sure enough the first screen that is set on the other end of the floor is called an illegal screen.

I mean I think a screener needs to be set and can't extend arms or legs in order to screen a defender, but it seems at times like the requirement to give the defender a reasonable opportunity to avoid the screen is translated to mean any contact between defender and screener must be an illegal screen.

 

[Boiler Buck]

I would like to see a rule that eliminated iu from college athletics.....although TC is currently doing his best to help with that overall objective of iu irrelevance.

 

[BoilerBiker]

- actually call intentional fouls when the trailing team intentionally fouls in the final minutes (FTs and possession)

- remove coaches box. have them stand behind the team bench (similar to hockey)

Maybe they can bring a bunch of extra shoes, socks, and uniforms to throw on to the court just like some hockey coaches do when they lose their $&@# and start throwing extra sticks.

Hell.....any ol chair will work, too....

 

[njm8845]

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but I would bring back the 5 second call for being trapped with the ball.

That was always one of the most exciting calls.

I wish the women's charge line would move out to be the same as the men's line. Too many lines on the court.

The women's game naturally requires the line to be slightly closer to the rim. Not enough women have the ability to get to the rim and the closer charge line allows women to get to the bucket better.

 

[StateStreet123]

1. Agree with all coaching box ideas. Coach should NOT be allowed on court during live ball. Immediate Tech if it occurs. Tired of watching Whizzo and Crean get in the way of the action.

2. Put in a new rule that allows the referees to call a foul when Isaac Haas gets fouled.

Maybe they should lower the rims for women too then.

 

[Boiler1313]

How about not calling fouls just because Trimble throws his head back at the slightest contact...any way that can be considered flopping? Lol
