2015-16 Basketball Rule Changes

[godanesgo99]

This video was shared on the America East Conference forum. I knew there were a few changes, but I didn't catch how many changes there were. I'm curious how this will affect the game this year. It seems to help teams that are less physical and more guard oriented...

Yikes it is going to take a while for everyone to get used to the new rules.

Women's game goes to quarters instead of halves, two shots after the fifth foul of each quarter plus a few smaller changes.

Apparently the new men's rules are designed to have faster moving offenses, quicker pace of play, and higher scoring. I guess we will find out tomorrow how it works in practice, but I have a feeling that games are going to be won by who has less people fouling out and who makes more free throws. The clock might be stopped more than it is running...

The narrator was pretty clear that the first few applications of the rules will result in A LOT of fouls but that the goal was a more free flowing game. The verticality rule and the larger arc around the basket may allow guards, especially smaller quicker ones, to drive and dish. No points off a charge though, no matter when the ball is released. Hopefully teams and refs will be used to this by conference play.

Lots of fouls called in the VT game. Could come into play today vs. Kentucky, but I think it might hurt us more than help us.

Didn't realize this meant the one-and-one bonus is extinct.

 

Thought it strange the women didn't change baskets at the quarter break, stayed the same until the half.

I was thinking the same thing about changing sides.

Also, it seems that any foul (including offensive fouls) results in two shots for the fifth foul on.

I don't think player control fouls do. Loosw ball fouls probably.

Good observation. Makes sense.
