CALLING MORE FOULS IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
CALLING MORE FOULS IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL. College basketball is experimenting with an approach I have long wanted. The approach is unpopular with a lot of basketball people, and I do wonder whether the experiment can last a whole year. In the early season games (and the season is just beginning), the referees, as this article describes, are enforcing the rules much more strictly and the result is an enormous increase in free throws which slows the game down. I hope the referees persist through the criticism. The time to apply the rules strictly is at the beginning of the year. The players and coaches will adjust as the year goes on.
