Good Thread on Improving the College Game

in WildWest Basketball Board

As usual Jay Bilas misses all of it.

6 fouls is an easy fix for me. Would love to see that.

And would bring back the rule if you transfer you have to sit a year unless coach leaves the program As well.

The best thing they can do for "The College Game" is to strip the NFL and NBA from having the ability to restrictions on entering the draft/playing until you are "X years removed from High School". How they have been able to get away with that I have no idea. If I put a minimum age restriction on a position at my office I would be sued immediately. It is pointless to have these guys in school when they don't want to be.

Disagree. The quality of play went down with the one-and-done rule. There should be a minimum 3 year stay in college once you sign a scholie. I would also get rid of the 3 pt line as the game has become far too focused on long range shooting. I would place a 3 prt arc inside the lane to emphasize trying to get shots as close to the basket or to promote layups via the transition game (read defense).

Compelling argument. I think you changed my mind on the one-and-done model.

What happened with the Brandon Miller situation(who just declared as expected) is a recent example of what you describe. I think the coach handled it wrong, but otoh he's trying to win games right now, and only has the player a couple more months(at the time). It's a bind.

The quality of play "should" stay the same, if you take the top players out of the college game from the get go, the guys who didn't get drafted right away are then the top dogs. Like trout in a stream, you pull out a big one and the next day the second largest fish is now the big one.
