April 12, 201412 yr I don't know if it's a factor but are the women able to get into a half court set earlier due to the fact they have no 10 second rule? No clue. Don't watch women's ball. I just know they have a 30 second clock. The guys should have 24.
April 12, 201412 yr They aren't going to give up 90 seconds of spots every half... But if you make the timeouts longer you don't have any lost time... Which is what I said
April 12, 201412 yr But if you make the timeouts longer you don't have any lost time... Which is what I said No, it isn't. You proposed replacing 3 minutes a half with 90 seconds...
April 12, 201412 yr Reduce the timeouts - not gonna happen; at least not the media timeouts. Advertisers would go crazy. 10-second rule - leave it the way it is. The offense is already penalized if they're getting d'd up - by having to spend a timeout. Widening the lane - fine the say it is. Don't score on a charge. No on the NBA continuation rule. Finally - don't monkey around with the shot clock. Heck - I liked it when there was no shot clock. I'd rather see underdogs with a slim lead make the big dogs play some defense.
April 12, 201412 yr I would like to see some international rules. 4 ten minute quarters, international rules on goaltending, 8 seconds to get the ball to half court, international lanes.
April 12, 201412 yr No, it isn't. You proposed replacing 3 minutes a half with 90 seconds... I always thought they were a minute and a half not three.
April 12, 201412 yr If teams were actually running offense with the 35 second shot clock that would be one thing. They are not, they just throw the ball around the perimeter and make a move with under 10 seconds.
April 13, 201412 yr If teams were actually running offense with the 35 second shot clock that would be one thing. They are not, they just throw the ball around the perimeter and make a move with under 10 seconds. Which a shorter shot clock would make even more chaotic. This would just be a move to help the big dogs and give the underdogs slimmer chances of pulling off an upset. I LOVED watching the Princetons of the world run their offense.

I LOVED watching the Princetons of the world run their offense. But Princeton at least RAN their offense, no one stood still they just cut, cut, cut looking for an open man and wear the D down. Some teams just like to stand around out top and run clock down with lazy outside passes never even looking to score, just running clock down. I love Princeton but can't stand slow down at all.
