NCAA changes charge rule again?

I really don't care what rule they use, just be consistent in calling it (that ain't gonna happen).....
 
The refs are going to call it the way they've always called it. It's too tough to change something that's an instinct, so I don't think they really changed, so they won't have to change back.
 
This is a BS rule change. Under the old rule, the defensive player can move in for a charge after the offensive player commits to his move, with no opportunity for the offensive player to avoid it. The offensive player could have a clear lane to basket when he picked up his dribble and suddenly have it close on him without him having any way to avoid an offensive foul.

Just because officials were confused about it is crap. Teach them, its not too hard. Teams figured it out. Either they had smart players who could anticipate offensive plays and get therein time or they told their players not to try and draw the charge.

Last year's rule actually brought the need for some basketball IQ into the block/charge play. No longer could you just tell a meathead basketball player to go out there and jump in front of every player going to the basket. To draw a charge, you actually had to have some knowledge of how basketball works to anticipate what players were going to do.

This is going to hurt Iowa State. ISU drew quite a few charges from help defenders because they were intelligent about getting there in time. It also hurts offensively as more teams will try to draw charges at the last second. Iowa State had loads of dumpdown passes last year when the defender came to help and the driver passed for an easy layup. Now that defender knows he can wait an extra second and still get over to draw the charge.

I agree with this ....
 
Wow, just consider the sheer stupidity of this statement:


"It was a problematic rule," Byrd said, "even though there were less charges and more scoring."
 
Needed to be fixed. Now Duke can get back to undercutting players in the air and getting charge calls.
 
This is a microcosm of why the P5 needs to split off from the small schools. Why does the F'n coach of BELMONT have say in the rules that high major athletes play under?

That signature is obnoxious and slightly embarrassing.
 
The way they called it last year was the best way IMO, I think the main problem was it was very confusing for the average viewer. Drawing a charge should require intelligent defending not just sliding in front of someone at the last second.

Easy there...the lack of salt and soda is getting to you already. :smile:
 
I didn't hear people complaining much about the way it was called last year. However, the year before it was a constant topic. So I am not sure why they would change it back.
 
I like that they are changing it back. Maybe this will force players to get themselves under control when they drive to the basket... or at least learn how to shoot a pull up jump shot. If called correctly, it should clean up the game.

I don't understand this logic.

I don't either. When you have a clear path to the basket and you leave your feet for a layout, a defender shouldn't be allowed to slide under you while you are airborne. I don't understand the purpose for the rule change.
 
Plus the fact that sliding under players in the air is an injury risk. I thought the ncaa cared about player safety.

That's not what the rule says. It says that the player must remain stationary and must be in position before the offensive player leaves his feet. The old rule essentially said - or at least was interpreted to say - that you could not draw a charge once the player made a "basketball move". That rule, in effect, meant that once a player made it into the lane, you better clear out or risk getting called for a foul.
