Men’s basketball is likely heading toward reducing its shot clock from 35 to 30 seconds, NCAA rules committee chairman Rick Byrd told ESPN.com on Monday.
Don’t understand this rule change, especially in isolation. Justification is always “let’s speed up the game”. I’m all for that, but if you lower the shot clock without addressing the defensive advantage bias – hand checking, grabbing, holding, etc. – the net effect will be opposite the intent.
I’ve seen faster moving games that were not very entertaining. Team 1 runs down the court quickly and makes a poor shot that bricks and results in a fast break by Team 2 who runs down the court quickly and makes a poor shot and bricks that precipitates yet another fast break and missed shot. Eventually someone makes it and you’re trying to catch your breath from watching such crap. Fast crap is still crap. I guess technically fast crap is diarrhea.
