And I have no idea what the solution is


- I think first and foremost everyone needs to look at officiating. Whether it's cutting back on stretching certain crews thin with shitty scheduling/travel arrangements or trying to promote some fresh blood into the program something's gotta give at this point.

- Evaluating the issues of consistency between a foul on the perimeter and a foul in the post.

- A 30 second shot clock (if it can work for the women it can certainly work for the men).

- Defensive 3 seconds.

- Widen the lane.

People can bitch about the one and done, but the reality is that effects a small fraction of teams in the NCAA. It doesn't excuse some of the shite we've been seeing across the board and while it's the sexy thing to go after right now, people are going to be rather unhappy when it doesn't solve anything except bringing less talent to the college court.

They need to quit changing rules to make things easier for players who can't master the fundamentals of basketball. Adding defensive three seconds to get rid of zone defenses? How about learning how to beat a zone defense instead. That's middle school level basketball that college players can't grasp. College basketball brought zone defense into further relevance by changing the rules in the first place and going to the NBA touch foul rules on the perimeter. Now teams are switching from man to zone to protect their key players from foul trouble. NBA teams play very little zone, not really because of the rules, but because it's too easy to beat.
