Because the NCAA would rather keep cutting the shot clock than actually insist that the officials start calling the game properly.
Here's how college basketball should be called:
1. If a defender makes a play that would be a foul against Duke, THEN IT'S A FOUL, even against teams other than Duke.
2. If an offensive player drives to the basket, he does not commit a charge UNLESS IT WOULD BE CALLED A CHARGE IF A PLAYER FROM DUKE MADE THE SAME PLAY.
If college basketball would adopt these two simple principles, we wouldn't have to worry about the shot clock -- college basketball would again be the free-flowing, wide-open game it should be.
This is great.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a problem with this. I like the idea of adopting international rules across the board or something like that just so that all the versions of basketball in the US follow the same guidelines.
