Man compared to the NBA, college bball is like soccer. Each possession is so slow, anytime one team makes a basket it's like a big event :lol

I don't understand the logic behind the offensive set where you just pass the ball 5 times at the top of the key and then take a contested jumper.

But it's all the rage in the NCAA.

Boring the defense to sleep? Who knows.. wish they would shorten the shot clock already
 
California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Rhode Island and Washington. 

The states that have a shot clock.

Wow I never knew some state had no shot clock. How does that even work? Can you just go up by 2 and then hold the ball, forcing them to foul? :lol
 
high school has shot clock, what are you talking about :lol

Only 8 states have a shot clock brah. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Texas (my state) doesn't use a shot clock.

clearly i didnt know that, i thought it was the norm

they need to implement 24 second for NCAA

i hate this pass on the perimeter crap for 25 seconds then attempt a shot

they did that back in the day in the nba when they had no shot clock

teams would just pass around til time ran out

thats why they implemented a shot clock because it ruined the game

Happens all the time. Dudes stand 30 feet out playing keep away with the ball. We used to press like crazy trying to force errant passes. It was the only way, and you spent so much time in practice running over how to break a press cause it was bound to come at you in every game.
 
That sounds pretty awful from both a playing and watching perspective.

I don't think I could have ran that much in hs.

My high school tried to play keep away from Chandler Parsons and Calathes' Lake Howell team one time. I'm pretty sure the plan was just to hand the ball back and forth to each other so they couldn't steal it. I think it worked for like 45 seconds :lol

QFT with Texas high school ball. Remember teams being up by 2 with like 2 minutes and just holding/dribbling the clock out. All you could do was foul.

Man, the high school memories. Played against Ndubi Ebi when he was at Westbury Christian, still can't believe he went pro after high school, should have went to Arizona lol.

There was an NBA game that finished 19-18. It was 3-1 in the 4th quarter because whichever team took the lead wouldn't shoot. That **** wasn't even real basketball.

Yeah, when I was in high school, CA did not have a shot clock. It usually wasn't an issue - most team played at a reasonable pace, especially in the larger leagues/conferences. Only saw it become an issue when some small school played a powerhouse and tried to keep the game close by taking the air out of the ball. Like Big J said, it ever only worked for a little while.
 
I've been very entertained. I see far less flopping, more physical, less cheap fouls for the most part, far less whining and complaining.
Those things are literally the only pluses college bball has, and that comes down to the refs (which is the biggest problem with the NBA today).

Outside of that you have slow play with this ridiculous shot clock, terrible fundamentals, offensive sets that make no sense, just general confusion and bad play that occasionally finishes in an exciting manner.
