    I totally agree. If you get within 3ft. of another player its an automatic foul

    There is this new invention called the remote control. I heard every television comes with one. Is this true?

    The missed shots within 3 to 5 feet from the bucket is annoying more than anything else.

    Too many timeouts, too many fouls, too many missed free throws, too long of a shot clock, too many coaches that insist their team foul when they are down 13 with a minute to go.

    Bad product, only watchable if you have action.

    Just an excuse for stations to make a crap ton on ad revenues. Why the need for a million and a half ads per game?

    If you don't enjoy March Madness your a fukkin stiff. Idk what else to tell ya.

    College basketball is amazing. There is a lot to be improved upon though. NBA is partly responsible as they need to change the 1 and done to AT LEAST a 2 and done. This would help both sports, as NBA is currently trash, and to me NBA is unwatchable. This would add to the development of college players, would help the casual fans like you learn the top players' names better, and would add more talent into the NBA.

    I also think the college shot clock needs to be reduced to 30 seconds at most. This is completely reasonable since NBA, international and women's all have shorter clocks than NCAAB men's.

    Finally, I think additional fouls need to be added. Whether it be up from 5 to 6 or 7 personals, or adding more team fouls in OT, it would help the game.

    The timeouts to me aren't a big deal. NFL rules all, yet it has less actual playing time than any other major sport (baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer).

    What sport is watchable w/o action? I find it kinda weird anyone cares bout random ppl or jersey they don't know with no incentive for personal gain of some kind.

    Please don't say NFL, I could bet my family, mistress, and life savings on a NFL gm and still take a nap. Talk bout too many fouls and a shit product that gets worse every stinking yr! And just cause ncaa fb has slightly more appeal it has basically turned into a 7 on 7 two hand touch gm, exciting shit!

    Shot clock def needs to be lowered. Playing in these domes doesnt help either. You're right though, the shooting is atrocious. Very few teams push the pace. Duke was holding the ball last night with 7 mins to go! 7!

    You're right, I feel the same way. I should have said I feel especially sorry for people that are watching without action.

    25- 30 second shot clock and they need to let the team trailing with under 1 minute to play have the option to inbounds from half court make for better finishes in close games

    Just reduce the number of timeouts and have some sort of rule about fouling at end of games

    Forcing players to stay longer in college only benefits college basketball. Not the NBA or players themselves. You really going to tell me beating up on a bunch of bums for 3/4 of 30 games a season is better development for the next level than being surrounded by, training with and going against the best players and coaches in the world for the entire year? And if you find out the guy isn't ready...that's what the developmental league is for. At least the dude has still made some money and has something in case of injury.

    PS- Adding more fouls is an awful idea.
