Quote:The 2019 NIT will feature four rules modifications:

• The 3-point line will be extended by approximately 1 foot, 8 inches to the same distance used by FIBA for international competition (22 feet, 1.75 inches).
• The free throw lane will be widened from 12 feet to 16 feet, consistent with the width used by the NBA.
• The shot clock will reset to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound instead of the full 30 seconds.
• Team fouls will reset at the 10-minute mark of each half for the purpose of determining free throws and one-and-one free throws will be eliminated. Teams will shoot two bonus free throws after the fifth team foul of each 10-minute segment. Additionally, teams will be awarded two bonus free throws after the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining in each half if that foul occurs before the fifth team foul of the segment. In each overtime period, team fouls will reset, and teams will shoot two free throws beginning with the fourth team foul or the second team foul committed under two minutes remaining if that comes before the fourth team foul of the overtime period.

If they are going to do team foul reset, lets just divide the game up into quarters already.

All of these seem like good suggestions except for the resetting of fouls at the 10 minute mark. The whole paragraph on team fouls seems a bit absurd. Plus I actually like the drama of one-and-one free throws.

I've really gotten to like the flow of the women's game since they went to quarters. Thing is, it flows better partly because there's one less mandated stoppage each half... and as long as the men's game gets ratings to compete well in the cable TV realm (something worth questioning about now), that's not an ad block TV will give up willingly.

Those rules are all very NBA like. Can you imagine being a coach in the NIT and trying to remember all the fouls stuff?

They should do like the NFL, when a timeout is called by a player, go to a smaller screen of the game and have a silent ad come on.

These suck, they are trying to turn college hops into the NBA jr. The NBA is the most boring game out there. 2 suggestions, move team fouls from 10 to 15, more one and ones.

Also, get rid of the stupid held ball rule, make it a turnover.
