Mitch is rumored to be absolutely furious over the shot clock change. He was quoted saying 'how the hell are we supposed to run an offense?!!'

Mitch won't have to worry about that as the game has passed him by and he'll never be a head coach again. He will learn the answer to that question as he watches the head coach he ends up working for run a proper modern offense. |

Don't know I feel about taking 5 seconds off the clock. Thoughts?

Practice I could care less but the shot clock idea is a bad idea. The ugly offensive games we see are not because of teams using the shot clock it is because they just cant shoot. Rushing them wont help.

It favors up-tempo pressing teams like (VCU/L'Ville) and Big 10 teams like Wisconsin will have a bigger adjustment!

The more I think about it the earlier practice time is a bad idea too. Parvforvthe course with the NCAA though.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. I could care less what the women's shot clock is. When did we start caring what the ladies do? The ladies also have no 10 second limit in the backcourt; should we get rid of that rule, too? If the rules committee really wants to fix the game, how about tackling how charging/blocking fouls are called? And speeding up the amount of time it takes to review a play? If it takes more than two reviews of the replay and hyper-super-HD slo-mo, go with the original call and get on with it.

Don't see what's the big deal. Change is good sometimes. I don't think I could stand watching games in the 1970's and 1980's with no shot clock and no three point shot. I think a 30-second clock is fine. I also would like to see the possession arrow replaced with the jump ball. These are not radical changes and might improve the game. It certainly won't hurt the game. What I don't like is transfer changes where players wouldn't have to hit out a year if they had a certain GPA. That hurts mid-majors and helps the BCS programs feeding them top mid-major players.
As far as starting practice earlier - it's good especially for Siena this year with a brand new coach and many new players.

College basketball peaked in the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, the quality of Division 1 basketball has gradually but steadily declined. The shot clock and the three point shot have added excitement to the game and are not to blame for the decline, in my opinion. However, the proliferation of television has made it more advantageous for schools to meet the requirements of playing Division One basketball. Adding one or two teams one time is not a big deal. But over the past 20 years, Division 1 membership has increased by about 50 teams.
Now, some say that this is a good thing-- the more the better. And it is a dream of hundreds of thousands of kids to play Division One ball. Basketball is the most exciting sport to watch because if you can get just five guys that know how to play the game, you can accomplish great things-- Florida Gulf Coast is a testament to that.
But to put it from Siena's perspective --- if a kid wants to go Division 1-- 20 years ago Siena had to compete with 300 schools. Now they have to compete with 350. So of course the quality of the selection is going down-- and it has happened from top to bottom. It's really quite simple, but the NCAA and the Media do not want you to think about this. Because who is paying for all of this decline in talent -- we are-- through higher ticket prices, increased cable consumption, and increased absorption of soft drink and snack advertisements.
Taking 5 seconds off the shot clock is not going to change this fact. Scoring might go up one or two points, but it will take three or four extra clanks off the rim to get there. Taking more study time away from student athletes and replacing it with structured practices is not going to help much either, but it will make it that much harder for students to get their degree, especially at some of the smaller schools that cannot afford to put a proper support system in place. Siena should be okay here regardless, but even Siena is not immune to this possibility.
The most effective method of increasing the scoring and overall quality of the game is to freeze Division 1 membership to new members until the number of teams shrinks back down to 300. This would increase the quality of the players, coaches and refs across the board, and thus also increase the scoring and overall quality of the game. I hope that more people start seeing this reality before arbitrary rule changes are made to the detriment of the game.

Shrinking D-1 membership isn't gonna happen. No one's gonna tell the MEAC and SWAC that their day in the sun is over. No one's gonna tell Longwood and Cal State Bakersfield to go back to the kiddie table. One way they could slow D-1 expansion is by adopting the rule that FBS football has, that you can't reclassify until you have an invite to a conference at that level.
That would still let the WACs and A-Suns replenish their membership numbers, but it would be on their terms.
