College basketball: Offenses will need to pick up the pace next season

Lon Kruger’s teams generally don’t need anything close to 35 seconds to put up a shot.

Starting next year, it’s likely all college basketball coaches will need to get their offenses moving a bit quicker.

The NCAA men’s basketball rules committee meets beginning Tuesday in Indianapolis, and chairman Rick Byrd recently told ESPN.com that it was likely the shot clock would be reduced to 30 seconds for the upcoming season.

Byrd also said it was likely that the restricted area under each basket would be moved from three feet to four feet away from the basket to create more space in the lane.
