NCAA basketball rules committee proposes changes to speed up game, improve offense

The NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee approved a package of proposals on Friday that should improve the overall state of the game for the 2015-16 season.

Included in the package are the expected change to a 30 second shot clock, as well as a number of changes to timeouts, and the lifting of the previous rule which had prevented pregame dunking.

The key areas the committee will focus on in the upcoming season are:

• Perimeter defense, particularly on the dribbler and strictly enforcing the directives put in the book before the 2013-14 season.
• Physicality in post play.
