Great debate on gameday about the shot clock

[bksballer89]

How does WCBB have a lower shot clock than MCBB?

They need to go to 24 ASAP

 

[tabascojet]

would have improved offense better than the hand checking rule they added this season for sure.

The hand check rule actually slowed the game down by there being so many fouls called and free throws attempted. They keep fucking with the rules. Make a decision already and leave the shit alone!

As Bilas said Men's CBB is the slowest game of basketball in the world. In Europe they used a 24 second clock and same in the NBA/WNBA while in WCBB they use a 30 second clock.

How can you be fully prepared to play in the NBA or overseas if you play with either no shot clock (which they do in HS) or a 35 second clock in the NCAA

I'm all for a shorter shot clock, but that is the worst argument I've ever heard for it. If you want to prepare for the NBA, then go play in the fucking D-League. The NCAA shouldn't be looking to model their game after the NBA.

I like the 35 second shot clock. The NBA is a horrible product, I don't want NCAAM to look anything like it...

It's funny how all of these arguments work. All we hear is how there's such a small percentage of college athletes who reach a professional level in whatever sport they play. Yet, the college game isn't enough like the pro game. Let college basketball be it's own entity. If you're a talented player your game will translate no matter the shot clock. I get maybe a 30 second shot clock, but a 24 second clock..no thank you. I don't care about a higher possession game, I care about a higher level of play.

How can college students be prepared to work in the real world if college isn't just like the real world?

How can Poli-Sci students be prepared for their career if they aren't constantly bribing each other to get ahead.

How can Accounting students be prepared for their career if they don't just sit in a cubicle for 9 hours a day?

How can Philosophy students be prepared for their career if they never get to work a deep fryer in school?

Bump.

I like watching guys pass it around the perimeter for 20 seconds and then make a decision where to go...let's me take a nap during the ball rotation.

Lower the shot clock time in my OP. Something far less than 35 seconds.
