College Basketball Is Finally Fixing The Sport After Getting Bullied All Year About Shitty Endings And Refs Constantly Going To The Monitor
It's about goddamn time. I've said it before, it's not NIL or transfer portal ruining the sport. It's the fact that the last 2 minutes of a game takes about 45 minutes of real time because the refs go to the monitor for every single play, there are timeouts, then throw in the fouls and free throw shooting contests and it sucks. The sport is supposed to be free-flowing. It's supposed to be get the ball and go, not the ball going out of bounds and everyone waiting 5 minutes as three refs huddle up to look at the monitor. Is it going to fix the sport completely? No, of course not. We're not dumb here. But this is the massive step in the right direction. It got to the point refs wouldn't even make a call at the end of the game knowing they can go to the monitor.
Now it's basically the NBA rule and frankly it makes sense. It never made sense to check who the ball went off of in the last 2 minutes of the game. Points aren't worth more, 2 points is worth the same on the first possession of the game as the last. What I can't wait for is to see what coach fucks this up. I do think we need to add something for them to throw. I want to see a disgusted Mick Cronin reaching into his suit pocket and throwing a flag of some sort at a ref.
It's even more than this too. We had a nut shot problem this year. Accidental nut shots led to immediate ejections. That's not the case anymore
Also get ready for continuation
Don't have a problem with this. I do know that refs will be even more confused at the start of the year, but it makes sense to have it. If you pick up your dribble it shouldn't be on the floor. It's the absurd continuation that should not happen. All I know is the sport is finally taking a step in the smart direction. Replays and reviews are ruining sports, not just this one. We need less of it. We went years, decades even, without having reviews. It ruins the ending of the sport and that should at least be fixed now.
