Larry Brown Against Shortening NCAA Shot Clock

by **Stallion** » Tue May 12, 2015 10:41 am

"Our game is ugly right now," SMU coach Larry Brown said before last season."I think our game will get uglier with a shorter clock."

NCAA meets Tuesday to consider changes in shot clock

Not his style

I'm all for it.

It will definitely speed the offense up but good defenses will make the adjustments. Really not sure the shortened shot clock will help with what it is intended to fix...lack of offense and points scored. I don't remember when the shot clock came into existence in college ball. Was it in effect when Houston, SMU, Arkansas and others were scoring over 100 points on a regular basis back in the 70's?

I'm all for it too. Some College basketball rules feel like they're from the stone age. Right now sometimes it's pass-pass-pass-pass-pass until there's 10 seconds on the clock and then someone finally drives to the basket.

The worst rule is the ticky tack fouls they call every 10s. Go back to old school rules and the game will flow better.

I figure it would benefit a team like ours that plays such strong D. How many possessions last year did we force them to runt he shot clock down to a couple seconds? Seems like shortening it to 30 would be beneficial.

And then the other team would hit a open 3

I for one like the current shot clock. I cannot stand the Pro style. Just my opinion

It's the ticky tack fouls

If it was up to Larry, there wouldn't be a three point line either. Of course he's against the shot clock moving to 30.

I want whatever LB wants. When he leaves, I want whatever the new coach wants.

I'm for a shorter clock but not too short. Unlike in the pros, college has too much disparity between teams for 24 seconds to work. If you go to 24, elite defensive teams will destroy everything in their path

I thought I remember Coach Brown saying that he would not mind seeing it shortened to 30 seconds last year. The women even have 30 second clocks now. Good defensive teams like our will take advantage of not having to hold teams as long of a time period. Can't wait for the season to start.
