Around College Basketball 25-26

Or, the refs can tighten up their penchant for blowing whistles over nonsense.
This will be something I hate and then totally not care about by end of the season
More timeouts, just what we need
Would also hate to lose the uniqueness of men’s college basketball.

They should change the number of fouls to six before a player fouls out. If the refs are going to continue to call a foul almost every offensive possession (whether or not there was a true foul) then six is more fitting. I hate to lose a player for almost the entire first half because of two ticky-tack calls!
Big East tried that and it resulted in more physical play and more fouls being called.
Although I rather have no replay at all, if they want to emulate the NBA on stuff their one challenge system is much better than what the NCAA is doing. Looking at every out of bounds play in the last two minutes destroys the flow of the game at what should be the most exciting time. It also provides extra timeouts for coaches, as for reasons I don't understand they do not require the players to remain on the court. Coaches aren't stupid, and many of the reviews being asked for are merely a workaround by them to have extra time outs.
Overall agree but the extra minutes might mess up the major networks TV scheduling...would need to extend TV block to 2.5 hours. Bad enough when a crappy game runs long and need to swich to alt channel or even worse...the app.
College basketball considering coach’s challenge, whether to use quarters for men
The committee recommended creating a working group to explore a long-discussed change from halves to quarters.

Look at that! Thanks for the link. Sounds like that last Kadary foul could possibly fit the criterion, I don't remember an out of bounds call all season as meaningful as that call.College basketball considering coach’s challenge, whether to use quarters for men

LOL you and Larry Wright should get a room - Mr Positivity squared
The NBA playoffs have been amazing all around. Go Knicks!
I really enjoy the NBA fwiw, but I’d prefer that college do whatever it can to NOT become it. Obviously NIL makes that more of a challenge. I love the 2 halves model, big part of making the sport what it is IMO.
40 minutes is 40 minutes, but when the second 20 starts you get a real feel of the stakes turning up. At least that’s my opinion. In the NBA, you get that in the fourth quarter. I don’t want the NBA 3rd quarter feel. I want the 2nd half feel.
