Some good stuff in here.
I’m not sure if this issue has or will be discussed, but after covering more than 100 college games this season and then watching the NBA playoffs over the last few weeks, the NCAA needs to crack down on coaches who are constantly yapping at officials. Most NBA coaches aren’t standing the entire game, and if they have to make a point to the officials, they make it and then sit back down. Many college coaches, largely because they are the face of the sport, talk incessantly to the referees. Hit these guys with technicals early in the game and in the season, and it’ll change quickly.
So does Major gain a possible advantage over other “active” coaches for his restrained sideline demeanor? ;D
So they’re going to emphasize hand checking again? Wonder what VCU games will be like now. That will be the real test of whether they’re serious, are they really going to call every hand check?

Every one of these changes for men’s roundball is good in my opinion.

Call me cynical, but I’ll be surprised if this is enforced once conference play starts. We’ve seen it before with other “points of emphasis” in past seasons.
Unless it’s an actual rule change, there isn’t any change once conference play begins.

Agree - until the refs all work for or are employed by the NCAA all season all of this is really just talk.

If you shoot past half-court, a 4-pointer. If you shoot from the opponent’s basket, a 5-pointer.
