“Ladies and gentlemen, there are some exciting new changes to NCAA men’s basketball this season. The shot clock has been reduced from 35 seconds to 30 seconds. Additional changes include dunking is now allowed both before the game and during halftime, coaches can no longer call timeouts while the ball is live, and each team now only has three 30-second timeouts per game, and may only carry two to the second half.
These changes, and others, were approved by the NCAA for this season and we hope you enjoy these changes while watching _______________ [school name] basketball.”

October 29, 2015, 11:56 amI had hoped for unification of the shot clock time for both genders, however I was in favor of making it 35 seconds. Creeping dangerously close to resembling NBA style play. Let them run their offense, not just run and gun!

November 3, 2015, 12:11 pmI think part of it has to do with trying to prepare players for NBA play. While NCAA basketball is a destination for a lot of student-athletes, there are a lot of post-collegiate leagues that are playing with professional rules and think this is why NCAA chose to go this direction. Well, that and it should help to increase scoring.
