Offensive freedom and block/charge

[ajb5856]

Finally doing something. Gotta think opening up the floor and allowing guards more freedom of movement will only help the Miles motion offense. College basketball needs this real bad.

The block/charge call was also a big deal this last postseason. I don't understand the difference between the current rule and the proposed one the article describes. There's not much difference between starting an upward motion and lifting off the floor. I would like for them to get rid of all "taken" charges where a defender just runs to a spot to get ready to flop backward. Force the defense to actually play defense. Get rid of the flopping backward charges and only call a charge when an offensive player creates/initiates contact by lowering a shoulder or extending an arm.

The article also recommends that officials be able to go to the monitor for more things within the last two minutes. Okay that's great and all but they need to mandate that during these review sessions, players on the floor can huddle together but only on the court and only with the 5 currently checked into the game. There were at least 2 instances during this year's tournament where a team that had no timeouts remaining was able to set up a play for a game winning/tying shot in the waning seconds. They need to not be able to huddle with coaches and staff during reviews.

Don't like expanding the monitor checking though I recognize there might be occasions when it would be good to do. I think, though, that it should be something a coach can request at the cost of a timeout (giving an extra timeout might be needed) rather than something generated by the officials. I dislike what reviews do to the game. Only exception to that I would make would involve time on the clock issues.

Grantland checks in, if you're so inclined.

 

I still don't see how cutting the shot clock would help.  Don't let the defense get away with as much as it does and things will work themselves out.

Well, for instance the charge call in the Ohio St. vs. Iowa St. game would have been a charge.  Take away the controversy about whether the heels were in the circle or not, he slid under the ball carrier after he had started his upward motion.  That call happens quite a bit.

Video of the call comes in about 20 minutes into the clip.

Do you mean it would've been a block? I'm assuming you mistyped there. I still say make the defense play defense. Make Craft in that situation make a play on the ball if he is going to come over there. He either makes a play on the ball trying for a steal or block and if he misses then its a foul on him for the hack. My guess is that if these are the rules, you won't have an off ball, 6 foot-nothing guard running to cut off a hard driving player right underneath the rim.

[uneblinstu]

Yes, i meant block.  I'm with you.  I've been saying for a while now that make the defenders defend.  The thing about the Craft play is that he wasn't even in the play until it was basically over.  He slid across the lane, the ball handler had already beaten his defender and started his upward movement and never saw Craft.  I agree, I think the rule is to get rid of that undercutting slide.

THE POWER OF AARON CRAFT COMPELS HIM!  HE CAN'T EVEN TYPE THE WORD "BLOCK" WHEN DESCRIBING HOW HE PLAYS DEFENSE!!!!

[Mr. Red]

When Congress/The House propose and pass signifigant bills, they often name the bill after the person or instance that created the need for the bill.

 

May I present to you the Aaron Craft Laws- (as pasted from the NCAA article)

 

To curtail the impeding progress of a player, it will be stressed to officials that they must address these rules throughout the game.

The committee wants the following types of personal fouls be called consistently throughout the game:
• When a defensive player keeps a hand or forearm on an opponent;
• When a defensive player puts two hands on an opponent;
• When a defensive player continually jabs by extending his arm(s) and placing a hand or forearm on the opponent;
• When a player uses an arm bar to impede the progress of an opponent.
