The last time UK was this young, they ended up an 8 seed. So let's put them on the 1 line anyway. ESPN loves them some Kentucky Fried Kittens.

Idk, their track record as a one a done program has created this sense of security for prognosticators.

Like Izzo and Bo Ryan. Always rated higher than the roster on paper.

UK has been 1-4 seed very consistently over Calipari's reign.

Ya think he's not mentally into playing this weekend?  Suspended for the game in Plainfield and can't find the #1 jersey for tonight.

Thinking more like someone on the coaching staff made sure the #1 jersey was not able to be located .

Why was he suspended? Was that released?

Never saw any specific reasons just the all-encompassing “conduct that violates team rules and policy.”

LaVall Jordan named head coach at Butler. Former Butler player about 15 years ago, assistant at Iowa and under Belien at Michigan.

Last year replaced Jeter at Wisconsin Milwaukee; Jeter went 20-13 in '16 but had APR troubles.

One season as a head coach; last season at Milwaukee finished last in the Horizon conference with a 11-24 record. Yikes.

At some point they may have to re-think their commitment to The Butler Way.  Holtmann really got the job by default because of Brandon Miller's personal problems and now they go with Jordan when from a pure coaching perspective they could have done better.  Worked OK in the Horizon League but..........!

College basketball: Men’s basketball coach’s box grows 10 feet

Shot clock resets, throw-ins also tweaked for 2017-18 season

 

Last Updated - Jun 14, 2017 15:08 EDT

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Tuesday approved extending the coach’s box to 38 feet for the 2017-18 men’s basketball season.

The coach’s box was 28 feet, but NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee members believe this will allow coaches to improve communication with their teams, especially when the teams are at the opposite end of the court.

The panel also approved a rule permitting a reset of the shot clock to 20 seconds when the ball is inbounded in the frontcourt after a foul by the defense. If more than 20 seconds remains on the shot clock, the shot clock will not be reset.

Also, next season fans will notice that throw-in spots will occur from more consistent spots in the frontcourt when the offensive team retains possession after a nonshooting foul or other stoppages in the game.

The location of all throw-ins in the frontcourt will be determined by an imaginary line drawn from the corner of the court to the intersection of the lane line and the free-throw line. If the stoppage of play is inside this area, the throw-in will occur on the end line 3 feet outside the lane line.

If the stoppage occurs outside this area, the throw-in will be at the nearer sideline at the 28-foot mark. Deflections will continue to be put back in play at the nearest out-of-bounds spot. Throw-ins in the back court will continue to be at the nearest spot.

Other rules changes

• Referees can use the instant replay rule in the last two minutes of the second half or last two minutes of overtime to see if a secondary defender was in or outside the restricted-area arc but only when a call has been made. If the player is in the restricted area, a block will be called on the defender. If the secondary defender is in legal guarding position and outside the restricted area, a player-control foul will be called. The Big Ten and Mid-American conferences experimented with this rule last season.
• A mandatory minimum of 0.3 second will be taken off the game clock when the ball is legally touched, and an official immediately blows his whistle.
• A legal screen was redefined to require that the inside of the screener’s feet be no wider than his shoulders.
• The cylinder rule was adjusted to allow more freedom of movement for the offense. If a defensive player straddles an offensive player’s leg in a way that prohibits him from making a normal basketball move — which now includes pivoting — contact that creates a common foul will be called on the defensive player.
• The Southeastern Conference received approval for its request to use a separate individual or individuals to collaborate with the on-court officials on all monitor reviews during its league games during the 2017-18 season. This collaboration will take place from a central location that is not at the game site.
