New Rules: Time to Upgrade NCAA Basketball

Fans, coaches and players have been looking for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee to update the game rules for College basketball for some time now; that time has come.

NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee met May 12-15 in Indianapolis and has been hard at work reviewing and approving rule change proposals.  According to the NCAA.com article on the subject their goal is to “significantly improve the pace of play, better balance offense with defense and reduce the physicality in the sport.”

The Chair of the committee is Rick Byrd who is also the men’s basketball coach at Belmont University.
