Interesting they moved it back without changing the size of the lane.

Hallelujah! I'm sick of college basketball being little more than a 3 point shooting contest. They should go another foot farther. Too bad they are waiting a year.GO PANTHERS! -
I hope the next changes are as follows:
1. Eliminate the alternating possession rule. (go back to jump balls - when there is a held ball situation late in the game, I'd rather see a jump ball than an arrow decide possession)
2. Eliminate the "double-bonus" (make people hit FT's down the stretch with 1-and-1's)
3. Add the 1/2 circle to the painted area (too many "flops" under the basket and officials react to "flopping".)
4. Adopt either the trapezoid lane or the NBA width lane to eliminate 'camping' in the lane and physical post play.
5. When a team calls a timeout before a "media timeout"...it should eliminate the next media timeout. (now, coaches call a timeout on purpose seconds before the next media, they come out of the timeout, there is a deadball 3 seconds later and then it's ANOTHER timeout because of the media. It's so disruptive to the flow of the game it's sick."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

One more thing to the list.
6. Stop the mini-timeouts when someone fouls out!!!Comment

Coaches do have 1 minute to name a substitution, but only in the last few years have all coaches been using that time as an additional timeout. I'd like to see that stopped as well."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

what do you have against physical post play that we need to change the width of the lane.Comment

Standing on the block and beating on each other isn't basketball to me. It's a personal opinion, so please understand I don't think you have to share it with me. Widening the lane to the NBA width would mean guys like Greg Oden would actually have to do something more thanback a guy down with their "brute strempth" and dunk. I'd like to see some of the bigger guys develop a post move or two. Just an opinion."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment
