Are you kidding me? There is nothing that gets the juices flowing more than a late game jump ball situation when a team needs a score. I'll never forget Chris Paul outjumping Manu Ginobli in that very situation like a year or two ago.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Alright, and you're an NBA guy and that's what you like. The possession arrow is the only thing that keeps a jump-ball a 50-50 scenario, and it puts more emphasis on diving on the floor for that loose ball.

 

[Pugz]

it teaches hustle. nothing wrong with that.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Yes they are. The shotclock is too long and the possession arrow takes away from the drama of the game.

No and no.

 

[Mooche]

No and no.

This.

I love seeing the longer shot clock, and the possession arrow really just makes everything that much more intense.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Word my brothas!

 

[Elite]

Shot clock is too long for me, but I don't mind the possession arrow.

I'll say that I'm bothered much more by the shot clock. Just imagine, it was 45 seconds at one point.

35 seconds is an eternity, and it puts the game into the coaches hands, not the players. The average number of posessions in college ball is 69, you shorten to say 30 seconds, that number jumps to 80+.

Creates a much more exciting game.

It's much more tactical.. I love it.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Exactly. It's more of a team game.

Shot Clock needs to be lowered

There needs to be a charge circle

And the 3 point line needs to be moved back to nba range

 

[bosoxlover12]

yeah the line is so close ATM

 

[The Young One]

I'm tired of seeing some garbage ass team get hot from behind the 3 and taking out a legit team...


And yes..I'm bitter as fuck we lost to VCU...but I really want the charge circle (shoutout to duke)....a farther 3 point line and no more one and dones...( Im looking at you Josh Selby and Jereme Richmond)

 

[DJT]

Yeah, they totally need a charge circle...lots of bad calls happen down there.

 

[Mooche]

I'd have no issue with a farther 3pt line, and a charge circle personally.

No changes to the shot clock though.

 

[DJT]

There are 4 different 3 point lines. I know that because its on my basketball final tomorrow.

 

[elcheato]

They need to make a change to the shot clock, whether it be something like 24 or 30, but it has to change. Too many teams hold the ball the entire clock.

like my HS is a regulation college sized court, and i can hit the threes as if they were free throws.

but then again, i can hit NBA 3's with ease as well....

No you can't, to both
