1. New rule where you can stay in the game after you commit your 5th foul, but any additional foul you commit results in the other team getting 2 shots and the ball. I think this is better than going with a 6 foul rule. NBA has 6 fouls and their games are 8 minutes longer. I don't want CBB to turn into a foul fest where teams are hacking away because of that extra foul they can get. But, more importantly, I want to get rid of the system where we way too often see star players sitting on the bench for large chunks of game time because they got 2 fouls in a first half. Or picked up a 3rd foul early in the 2nd.
2. Not a rule change, but i would gather all the refs in a room and tell them if they don't lay off the charge call they are gonna be reffing girls high school in Topeka next year. Refs need to learn that the block/charge decision is a lie. It is actually a block/charge/PLAY ON NO CALL decision. Refs seem to have forgotten that they can simply not call anything there. Doesn't matter if some defender acted like he got shot and flew himself back 10 feet ono the ground. You don't have to blow your whistle there. There was a great example of this last night on Mitchell's 3rd foul. He drove the lane in control, made a jump stop and passed the ball. When he landed his momentum carried him and he BARELY made contact with the defender. the defender, who is twice his size, acted like he got shot and flew back onto the ground. Ref called charge. Ridiculous. 100% should've been a play on no call.
Also, if it's close between block and charge give the tie to the offensive player. I want to see the breakdown of these plays go to 70% block, 10% charge and 20% no calls. As of now it is probably 50/50 blocks and charges and it sucks.
