Ostensibly Hoops

[Jungle Rat]

Yep.

Kessler to Auburn.

ECU has its best player in ages, Jayden Gardner, and he's like "See ya, GreenVegas!" and heads to UVA, which just lost Justin McKoy to UNC. Nobody will know any of the players on their team next year. Sort of like UK every year.

[hedge]

Auburn?? WTF?? I guess they told Kessler that he could tell them how many minutes he would get to play, how many 3 point shots per game he'd get to take and generally he'd get to run the team. Oh well, it worked...

[Jungle Rat]

Or.......maybe Auburn is better right now?

close to home and Pearl can talk a kid into playing for him

he wasn't coming to UK because Cal would make him play back to the basket and no 7' wanting to enter the league is going to want a limited skillset

Walter McCarty accused of sexual assault in addition to his inability to pay back loans

he was a hot mess as a coach.

especially when Pearl starts tampering with the kid and his family in December...

Carolina Basketball is in a downward spiral. This is the Transition Disaster sequel. Roy really did learn from Dean — make sure a cuckold athletic director is in place, then manipulate the puppet into hiring an assistant with zero head coaching experience. Yeah, we’re the #1 job in College Basketball alright...

Total bullshit!

[hedge]

Heh, I hope not. On a brighter note, Lebo is indeed going to be on the staff, so that will give me a pipeline to the very nerve center of Carolina basketball. I'll have my fingers on the pulse. Nobody nowhere has ever been as inside and connected as I will be. Suck it, punkles!

[Jungle Rat]

You wait on him for corn once?

[Dave23]

Lebo served him a chowder bowl at Busco Beach once...

you really pulled it altogether with that one

[Jungle Rat]

Cleared it up for me.

rule changes being considered for 2021-2022 season

— Widen the lane to 16 feet

— Reset team fouls at the 10:00 minute mark of each half and begin double bonus on the 5th team foul of each 10-minute segment. This would eliminate the one-and-one free throw.

— Allow laptops, tablets, or similar devices in the bench area for coaching purposes.

— Adopt a modified six-foul rule with the following provisions:

1. A player may not commit more than three personal/technical fouls in any one half. Penalty – disqualification.

2. A player may commit three personal/technical fouls in the first half and three in the second half. In this case, the player is allowed six fouls before being disqualified.

3. A player may commit two personal/technical fouls in the first half and would be disqualified on his fourth personal/technical in the second half. Total – six fouls.

4. A player may commit zero or one personal/technical fouls in the first half and would be disqualified on the player’s fourth personal/technical in the second half. See #1.

— Award possession of the ball to the defense when they create a held ball situation.

— Limit the number of timeouts that may be called by any one team in the last two minutes of the second period or of any overtime period to two.

— In the last two minutes of the second period or of any overtime period, allow instant replay review of potential shot-clock violations when the shot is unsuccessful.

— Eliminate the ten-second backcourt rule.

— Permit the use of Instant Replay on all basket interference/goaltending calls throughout the game, but only when a call has been made by an official.

— Permit a team to decline free throws in the last two minutes of the last period or of any overtime period and elect possession of the ball for a throw-in instead.

— Eliminate offensive basket interference after the ball hits the ring or flange. Would make the rule consistent with the FIBA rule.

— Adjust the traveling rule to allow a player to take two steps after lifting his pivot foot which would make moves such as the spin move, Euro-step and step-back shot legal.

— Eliminate the five second closely guarded rule.

"Permit a team to decline free throws in the last two minutes of the last period or of any overtime period and elect possession of the ball for a throw-in instead."

That one is interesting...

[Jungle Rat]

Why? Just throw all your scrubs out there at the end and foul the shit out of them. Exciting.

[Jungle Rat]

Plus. You're risking a 5 second each time.

Wes Miller to Cincinnati.

Congrats to the Bearcats for hiring a better head coach than North Carolina did.

[Jungle Rat]

Sounds good to me. I thought Martin would get it. Guess they still want to stay away from the Huggins influence.

“I think what’s going to happen as you see how often in a lot of leagues, you know the good players go to a good team and the bad players leave good teams because they’re not playing. So is that going to make the rich get richer? I don’t know. You can decide that.” - Nick Saban


doesn't feel that way in college basketball
