Last week the NCAA rules committee met and released their changes to next year's rules and officiating. Nothing major came out of those rules and officiating changes. Just some minor tweaks and adjustments. For instance, the coaches box will be extended from 28' to 38'. And the shot clock, when inbounded in the front court after a defensive violation, resets to 20 seconds (if under 20) and not 30 seconds.
What is interesting is what the NCAA has said about morphing the game towards International rules and/or the NBA. The biggest changes to get to that style of play would require a 3-point line at greater distance, wider lanes, and 4 quarters.
So, what did the NCAA say about that?
The NCAA is ENCOURAGING leagues to experiment with ANY and ALL potential rules changes in an effort to collect more data. These rule changes would be limited to intra-conference games.
I'm not sure if this something the coaches or athletic directors in the HL will embrace and how they will approach experimental rules. But it should make for some interesting debate over the next few months.

The three point line is moving back this season to the international distance.

I’m not in favor of this. It basically makes every game we play an audition for our players for power 5 schools. The thought of having to sit out a year at least gives players pause to think through their decision to transfer before they do it. We have been hurt by transfers recently and our roster has also been bolstered by it so I don’t know how much it will affect us moving forward. I do know that it will completely change the way coaches recruit. All recruiting will start with keeping your own players happy. It will be interesting to see if the next most important recruit is the traditional high school player or trying to recruit kids from other colleges. Whatever ends up happening I just hope our staff can make the adjustments.

This is absolutely huge. Imagine how many more kids would transfer if they knew they didn't have to sit a year. I guess if anything this will weed out the kids who aren't truly committed to your program...you probably don't want them there anyways, right?

This is the road to separating the Power 5 from the rest. The NFL and NBA farm teams.

This is very sad news for long time fans of mid-major college basketball. Young men who are "stars" at schools like WSU will be wined and dined and lied to to get them to attend bigger, better known schools. If a player is good enough to play professional basketball the scouts will find them no matter where they play ball. WSU has had a few players who have abandoned the school for bigger schools, but it doesn't appear to have done them any good. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Stay here. Play for coaches who care about you.

I'm not in favor of this change, either, but I want to see what the rules are. If there's still going to be a transfer portal and there are strict rules about tampering it may not be as devastating as it looks. Also, transfers go both ways. If a player is sitting on the bench at a Power school he may be ready to start at a mid-major. It depends on how smart and realistic he is. We've done well with transfers since Nagy has been here. The only one that I regret losing was Julius Mays to Kentucky and I had a hard time blaming him for doing that.

I'm fine with this, actually. If one of our kids is good enough to play significant minutes at a bigger school and that's where he wants to be, let him do it. If there is a player at a bigger school that isn't finding the court and wants to play for a mid-major, let him. No sense making someone stay where they aren't happy.
Off hand, I think Julius is the only player I can ever remember transferring to a Power 5 school from here. The rest have gone to smaller or similar sized schools because they weren't happy or weren't a fit for whatever reason. I can't even remember someone leaving here and having tons of success elsewhere.
IMO, we've been helped by transfers way more than we've been hurt. Imagine if we had Tim Finke available this year?

Mark Alstork left for Illinois.

Neither of those guys would even be impacted by the new rule. Both transferred into Wright state. Mays from NC State, Alstork from Ball State

This is not good at all for the reasons already stated. It gets harder and harder for Mid-Majors to compete.

This is not good at all for the reasons already stated. It gets harder and harder for Mid-Majors to compete. Exactly. The mid-major teams that have been able to make runs in the NCAAs have been able to do so because they were veteran teams that were able to beat more talented teams. It’s going to become harder and harder for teams like that to exist in the future.
