Evidently, you haven't watched any women's games lately because they have a 10-second violation now.
Shot clock to be moved to 30 seconds?

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.
Byrd, the coach at Belmont, said a year ago that there was a 5 percent chance of the change happening, but he changed his tone Monday.
"Now there's a real decent chance," Byrd said. "It's pretty evident a lot more coaches are leaning that way. The opinion of coaches on the shot clock has moved significantly to reducing it from 35 to 30. And all indicators are pointing toward that."
The rules committee will meet May 12-15 in Indianapolis and review all the data and surveys on the matter from this past season. The NIT, CBI and CIT postseason tournaments all experimented with the 30-second shot clock this past March. The rules committee can change rules every odd year.
"I think it's fair to say the buzz about the game is that scoring in the 50s can be ugly," Byrd said. "There's a lot of talk about it -- more coverage than ever before. All of that has created acceptance from the coaches' side."

College basketball may finally be picking up the pace.
The NCAA men's rules committee announced a range of rules proposals Friday -- including a 30-second shot clock, an extension of the restricted area arc and fewer second-half timeouts -- it hopes will accelerate a game that has faced widespread criticism for increasingly paltry scoring and too-frequent stoppages throughout the past decade.
The shot clock was last reduced, from 45 to 35 seconds, in 1993-94. The women's college game currently uses a 30-second clock. In 2013, the rules committee changed officiating emphases designed to reduce physical play.
After the first brief uptick in scoring averages during 2013-14, the 2014-15 season was the lowest scoring in the sport's history -- mirroring a decades-long trend toward slow play during which teams gradually scored more points per possession but averaged fewer and fewer possessions per game.
The NCAA experimented with the new shot clock and restricted area rules in the 2015 NIT. NCAA men's rules committee chairman Rick Byrd said the data indicated marginal benefits to pace of play, but that the shot clock reduction was merely "one piece of the puzzle."
Alongside the larger restricted area, other pieces of the rules committee's puzzle include renewed calls for officials to hew to the 2013 changes policing physical play. The committee explicitly named perimeter defense on the dribble, physicality in post play, screening and movement away from the ball as its most important officiating changes.
The committee also hopes to speed up games through the reduction of stoppages. It proposed eliminating one timeout per team in the second half of games. It also voted to disallow coaches from calling timeouts from the bench, and will blend any timeouts called within 30 game seconds of a planned television timeout into the television timeout itself.
The rules proposals will be sent for approval from the NCAA's playing rules oversight panel, which meets in June.

band aid on a bullet wound. It isn't the shot clock that is causing the scoring issues, it's the lack of quality shooters at the NCAA level.
and this is caused by the lousy aau circuit.
Not to mention, off-ball contact. Freedom of movement is a far more significant issue than the shot clock with regard to scoring, but the NCAA is too stupid to do anything more than implement a non-solution.

NCAA should install the rule of 3 steps no travel just like the NBA to increase scores

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bas...-16-including-30-second-shot-clock-fewer-outs
The NCAA has approved multiple rule changes to men's basketball for the 2015-16 season, including a 30-second shot clock and fewer timeouts for each team.
The organization announced the changes, approved Monday by the NCAA playing rules oversight panel, in a tweet.
The men's basketball rules committee recommended the rule changes after months debating how to increase scoring and speed up play, especially late when flurries of fouls and timeouts made games seemingly drag on endlessly and needlessly.
The panel approved cutting the number of timeouts each team can use in the second half from four to three and eliminating some of the extra stoppages by using any timeout called within 30 seconds of a media timeout as the scheduled break. Committee members hope that will eliminate the occasional double timeouts that occur when there is no natural break around the 16-, 12-, 8- and 4-minute marks.

Good thing Hewitt got out when he did. He was a master at the TO just before the next media time out. That's no longer an option.
Stupid NCAA rules. First they screwed him over on Mayimba and now this? Hewitt should just stay retired.

the women's game started doing this recently and I am glad the men's game will follow. it seems the women's game is essentially becoming a testing ground for rule changes. they are now going to 4 ten minute quarters. if it succeeds, my guess is that it wont be long until the men make this change also. The NBA and high school play 4 quarters. Once TV finds a way to maximize the format, the NCAA will change the men's game to 4 quarters. just follow the $$$.
Ew. I don't want 10 minute quarters. That just breaks up the game and slows it down.
A terrible idea.

A full listing of the changes in WBB (http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources...all-moves-four-quarter-format?DB_OEM_ID=25200) includes when the band can play! (Any dead ball situation, not just time-outs and intermission).

http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebask...598/top-10-potential-benefits-of-rule-changes
1. Thirty-second shot clock
Trimming the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 is the rule change that college basketball fans will recognize in a hurry. It’s the first change in the shot clock since the 1993-94 season and should, in theory, bring faster play and more scoring to a game that has become stagnant in recent years. (The 2012-13 season scoring dipped to an all-time low of 67.5 points per game.) Teams that play at a deliberate pace will still try to milk the clock; they’ll just have five fewer seconds than they used to have to do it. And that’s a good thing.
2. Dunking in warm-ups
The ban on dunking during pregame and halftime warm-ups was a bit of an obscure rule anyway, especially after reading the rationale listed for changing it: “Current restriction no longer needed with today’s equipment.” Its elimination could give fans reason to pay attention when they’d otherwise be waiting at the concession stand or idling on their smartphones. Realistically, no coaches are going to allow their players to turn it into a mini-dunk contest, yet it’ll be another element of fun for the game.
3. No future in frontin’
Flopping and a player favorite, the fake head-whip in an attempt to draw a foul, will now be considered a Class A technical foul (two shots). The caveat to this rule is officials can only call it while using instant replay to review potential flagrant fouls. The rule would be better if an official could just call a technical for fake fouls without the use of a monitor, but it’s still progress. Too many players resort to faking because they’ve gotten away with it, and this will help put a stop to that.
4. Expanded arc
There was nothing worse than seeing a defender rewarded with a charge call for basically standing under the basket. The restricted area arc had grown from three feet to four -- matching the NBA distance -- which should give a little more breathing room for offensive players and bring some more space in the paint.

Wow those will definitely change up the game
I definitely like the concept that if you faked a foul and caused an unnecessary video review, there should be a penalty.
