Thoughts on the rules changes for WCBB?

[BigTime]

What do you guys think of the quarters and the new foul system? I like that it will add some more strategy to the game and will give the coaches more of chance to "earn their paycheck."

Thoughts?

I like all of them with the exception of the sound effects/music rule.

I like the changes and yes, I do think coaches will have to vary their strategy at times to maximize their effectiveness. I look forward to see how this plays out.

I don't like the "advancing the ball" rules. In general, I don't believe in rules that change based on the clock. Not in any sport.

I don't see the 10-second backcourt exceptions having any real impact.

I'm not really sure how the music rule improves the overall fan experience. It seems like they already cater to the short attention span fans.

I do like the quarters change with the associated free throw changes.

In general, I think any rule changes should bring it closer to international rules. And maybe we could convince the international community to adopt some of our rules.

Any rule change that avoids so many stoppages in play is good. Now the refs have announced that they will be be pickier on calling fouls. Anything to break up the flow of the game.

I just saw the other thread that had the link. This link contains more rules changes than that one.

I wonder if coaches who have experience at the International level will have a bit of an advantage in the first year or so. Sherri seems to suggest it will make a fairly significant difference at certain points in the game.

That rule on post defense clarifies a problem.

In the proposed format change, teams would have four timeouts (three 30-second timeouts and one 60-second timeout). A team may use the 60-second timeout at the discretion of the coach during the first or second half of the game. Teams would be allowed to carry over three of those timeouts into the second half. The committee’s original proposal recommended that teams be allowed to carry only two timeouts into the second half.

Each team would be awarded one 30-second timeout in each overtime period, plus any unused timeouts remaining from the second half. In non-televised games, teams would have five timeouts (three 30s and two 60s). As many as four of the timeouts could carry over into the second half.

I am not sure if this passed as it is listed under the proposals section. But I don't agree with having a televised game treated differently than a non-televised game. That is bizarre at best. You have to keep the game consistent regardless of viewers.

The first called timeout called each quarter serving as the media timeout is interesting. I had not thought about it until I read that Walz of Louisville thinks he can take advantage of it.

I think the idea is to make both televised and non-televised games more equal. You get 5 timeouts in each, but in televised games one is the media timeout (assuming it comes after the 5 minute mark) while all are called in non-televised games. Even in games where the first timeout is called prior to the 5 minute mark, most coaches calling the first timeout will make it a short one, which will become a very long one. That means such televised games have one very long one, one long one, and 2 short ones. Non-televised games will have 2 long ones and 3 short ones.

Ah. I didn't notice that there would be no designated media timeouts in non-televised games. If so, that makes sense to equal out the total timeouts between the two.
