ESPN.com: NCAA committee recommends change in goaltending rule

Not sure why the ESPN piece didn’t mention the proposed changes on technicals, etc…

NCAA.org: Basketball rules committee targets unsportsmanlike technical fouls

[u]Rules recommendations that affect both the men’s and women’s game include[/u]:

Home teams being required to wear light-colored uniforms. Until now, it was just suggested that home teams wear the lighter-colored uniform.

All institutions will be required to have breakaway rims installed by the 2009-10 season.

Since the men’s three-point line is moving back a foot to 20 feet, nine inches, and the women’s line is remaining at 19-9, the recommendation is for all courts to have the two three-point lines be contrasting colors.

Points of emphasis for women’s officials in 2008-09 are traveling violations, hand-checking the player dribbling the ball and sportsmanship. In the men’s game, officials will emphasize rough play away from the ball, such as impeding cutters and contact on screens. Palming violations will also be a point of emphasis.

I don’t like the goaltending rule. One of my favorite plays in basketball is the defensive pin against the board on a fastbreak.

Do away with any and all goaltending rules… CC3 will own the universe!

I think the ball may occasionally travel up just a little when shooting an "ole fashioned" layup off the backboard. You know, use left foot for right handed layups and use the right foot for left handed lay-ups. After all, it is called a [B][SIZE=4]Lay-[U]UP[/U][/SIZE][/B]

On a fast break, if its not a dunk, its generally traveling up.
