![]() Players have smallish sample sizes, especially as we get more granular with the characteristics of shots. On an individual player level, this creates obvious problems, part of why player-specific shot quality is so hard. Shot quality metrics are only as predictively useful as past performance might be indicative of future results. The Virginia Basketball season kicks off November 6 in Syracuse with an ACC tilt against the Orange.Before getting into the weeds of the specifics, I should also reiterate a general point: Things can change. On the defense, things get that much harder for opponents that manage to get a second look at the bucket (which is uncommon as is). When the Hoos have the ball, they’ll just have to be more deliberate after an offensive rebound. With the shot clock change, that’s a bigger boon defensively than a challenge offensively. That means longer distances to travel after hedging or more switching defensively. On the other, Virginia will still have to defend the 3-pointer. On one hand, making it harder to make threes against the Pack Line is a very good thing. It does allow for more space in the post for players like Braxton Key, Mamadi Diakite, and Jay Huff to operate, but without a big-time slasher in the lane it might not be a big deal in that sense.ĭefensively, the expansion of the lane could be both good and bad for the Hoos. A 3-point line that’s further back - even if it’s only a difference of 1 foot and 4¾ inches - could impact Kihei Clark’s shooting (34% 3FG). Virginia loses its three best 3-point shooters in Kyle Guy, De’Andre Hunter, and Ty Jerome. So how does all of this affect the reigning National Champion Virginia Cavaliers? The last update would assess technical fouls to any players that use, “derogatory language about an opponent’s race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender expression, gender identify, sexual orientation or disability.” Also in the last two minutes, replay can be used to review any goaltending or basket interference calls (along with out-of-bounds calls). Previously, only players could call timeouts during game play. Under the new rules, coaches could call live-ball timeouts with two minutes or less left on the clock in the second half (and overtime periods). In addition to the 3-point line and shot clock, the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved proposals that would allow coaches to call timeouts late in games and see stricter rules around derogatory language. ![]() This will ideally improve the pace of the game, and was also used experimentally in the 2019 NIT. The reset of the shot clock would give teams a 20 second clock after an offensive rebound, basically just eliminating the 10 seconds allotted to bring the ball up court.
