Interesting read on the effects of the shot clock change thus far in NCAAB.

Possession Statistics:
Logic would dictate that a condensed shot clock forces teams to play faster and in turn regain possession more frequently over the course of a game. Stats from KenPom.com indicate that this prediction has become a reality early in the college basketball season.
In 2014-15, the average offensive trip lasted 18.4 seconds, which yielded an average of 64.8 possessions per 40 minutes. This season, the average length of an offensive possession has been slashed to 17 seconds, resulting in an increase in average possessions per 40 minutes to 70. These numbers point towards an expedited pace of play in college basketball, the intended effect sought by the NCAA when instituting the abbreviated shot clock.

Offensive Production & Efficiency:
The NCAA hoped that hastening the pace of play would bolster scoring across the nation, a phenomenon that has in fact taken the country by storm this season. After scoring an average of 67.5 points per game in 2014-15, team production has skyrocketed to 73.9 points per game in 2015, approximately a 10% jump.

It has definitely spared us the coaching genius of Dale Brown's interminable four-corner offense.
I think that someone deserves a prize for shot clock.

I can remember one home game the fans tired of Dale constantly going to the four corners finally had enough of it and booed when Dale went to it.
Dale had a conniption fit on the sideline, waving his hand an pantomiming that we should stop booing and start clapping instead. He got a smattering of applause but not much then post game all he wanted to talk about was that and how at UNC fans gave a standing ovation every time Dean went to the four corners.

Didn't the 35 second shot clock do that? Maybe like me you didn't realize there was a new 30 second shot clock? And I've watched several games this year already.

IMO it's made a noticeable difference in pace of play. I think the only thing that's negated it early on in the season is the emphasis on the foul on the perimeter, but that's improving as well.

Scoring is up for now but scoring is always up non conference. Not sure offense is better though.

It should still hold in conference play. It did on the women's side when they implemented it.
Offenses still need time to adjust. I think it forces players to make better shot selection once the kinks are worked out.

The women are doing quarters apparently. How long do you guys think this gets implemented on the men's side. When you think about it it's the only level that does halves.
