INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An NCAA committee has approved three rules changes intended to clarify block-charge calls, who can shoot free throws after an injury and the expanded use of replay.
The announcement Monday means secondary defenders must establish position outside the area between the backboard and the front of the rim to draw a charge call. The playing rules oversight panel said in a release that the change was based on surveys, rules forums and the coaches’ desire to reduce the amount of contact occurring underneath the basket.
The panel also addressed the perceived advantage teams can get when a fouled player is injured. Previously, the shooting team’s coach could select any player on his roster to take free throws. Now, the opposing coach must select from the four players remaining on the court.
And the committee approved expanding replay to determine flagrant fouls, which would result in ejection. If the foul is not considered flagrant, officials could still call an intentional foul or a technical foul for contact. It is the only rules change that will apply to men’s and women’s basketball.
The rules changes will go into effect this fall.
Below are some of a coach's notes, taken during the Nike Clinic last month, in which John Calipari was a speaker. He produced a set of notes on what Calipari talked about, and a few offer a compelling look into the philosophy's of the Wildcats current coach:
Why we run DDM (Dribble Drive)
-Points per possession
-Spacing gets you to line and gets you uncontested 3 pt shots
-1.2 points per poss is great, .08 is not good
What we do
-we set no screens
-we don’t post the big unless on a call
-we are spaced out
Start offense
-1 passes to 2 beyond half court, 1 will hold and allow 2 room to Drive
-1 passes to 2, in half court, he will go through
Everyone who catches the ball must have a direct lane for a layup
We REPLACE the guy we pass to, once he puts it on the floor, creates floor spacing
We run pattered stuff, then get into spacing for motion
We don’t jump stop, we stride stop
It’s YOUR GAME when you have the ball in your hands.
If they sag, by the 3rd drive the defenders will run into each other.
Point guard must have 4 layups per half
Point guard must bring ball up court inline with the elbow, he then can get to basket with either hand.
