This is a horrible idea. If people think shortening the shot clock will create more scoring they may be right because it would create more possessions. As you mentioned, that's not all it will accomplish as shot clock violations and horrible misses will also increase, not to mention turnovers. <br />The NBA is filled with ridiculous talent, and virtually every player on the court at any given time can get up a contested bad shot, and still make it. This is not so in college. The NBA is also filled with players who can handle the ball, even if they're 6'10". There are not enough good ball handlers in college, and with only 24 seconds possessions have to be rushed. That means more turnovers as players force passes. You can also say good bye to post up play. It often takes 2-3 tries to make a good post feed, and with less time there will be less chances to get the ball inside before a perimeter guy has to jack up a shot.<br />I hope that rule change doesn't happen. <br />Adamcwishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17089289786921330613noreply@blogger.com
