How I would improve college basketball

1. Lengthen the three-point shot to the NBA length. Guys are getting good enough at it to do that and they all want to play in the NBA anyways.
2. Reduce the shot clock to 32 seconds. The NBA has a 24 second clock and women have it at 30. People want to see basketball and more transition game and this will reward teams that play defense and yet not lead to lower scoring.
3. Have a designated free throw shooter on the court. When a guy gets fouled allow the offended team to choose anyone on the court to take the shots.

Are you thinking this will decrease the number of fouls? I'm ok with your first 2 suggestions, but I don't like this one.

I think this will decrease the number of fouls. You won't have hack a shaq and this will allow teams to still foul to stop the clock though it will more likely backfire and end games quicker since more foul shots will be made and it will increase scoring.

You are going to reduce the shot clock by 3 seconds?
LOL wtf? That will change virtually nothing.
You'd have to reduce it a good bit more than that.

It isn't the fouling you see within the last minute or so.

I'm on board for 1 and 2. 3? Not so much.
NCAA just needs an overhaul of their officiating system and rule book all together. Good crews are often stretched too thin with shitty scheduling. There's a handful of guys who consistently make shitty calls with little reprocussion. And rules changes as of late have turned officiating into something far too subjective.

Call a player control foul the way it was called 15-20 years ago. It has turned into a tactic to force a turnover. That's horrible for the game, IMO.
Player control should be when defender has established position and offensive player commits an act to gain an advantage. This should be strictly enforced.

1. Agreed
2. 28 seconds
3. No way
I'll add a couple more:
4. Move to quarters instead of halves
5. Reduce TV timeouts

I like the reduce of the shot clock. If you are up by like 5 with 3 minutes left it is pretty much game with this shot clock.
After that, I would like to say that the third one is pretty stupid for college. That is not how it works in the NBA and college has turned into a feeder program.

Lengthen the 3pt line to NBA and reduce the shot clock to 30 secs.

1. 30 Second shot clock
2. Change how timeouts are handled - either less TV timeouts or charge them to the teams like the NBA does
3. Defensive 3 seconds
4. 4 10 minute quarters
5. Shot clock for reviews.
6. Improve how hand checking is called. Idea is correct, but the execution this year has been terrible. They abandoned it all together near the end of February.
7. Increase the number of fouls needed to foul out to 6.
8. Timeouts at the end of games allow you to advance the ball
