Here's how college basketball will look different next season, and where it will affect Virginia
The NCAA Rules Committee today recommended rules changes for the 2015-2016 season, with a focus on pace of play. The comprehensive list of changes are highlighted by a reduction of the shot clock to 30 seconds. The Committee's recommendations will go to the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which will discuss on June 8th whether to formalize the new rules.
Here's a look at what would go into effect next season, assuming all the NCAA recommendations are approved:
Pace of Play:
- Shortening the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30
The most visible and surely most discussed change, shortening the shot clock aims to increase the number of possessions and thus increase scoring, which dropped to 67.
