Up for consideration at a June 3, NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel meeting.

The foul rule they want to test is godawful. It’s unnecessarily convoluted and just deeply stupid. I don’t get why 5 fouls is considered an issue. Never have. But if you’re trying to keep guys on the floor, how about just not having disqualifications? Give a player 5 fouls. Any fouls on the player after 5 is 2 shots and the ball. It’s simple and adds another strategic element. But I don’t understand the need to change it to begin with.

Yea that seems really dumb. I am okay with having the 6 fouls. That's 3 per half for players and coaches. But the fact that men's basketball has yet to go to four 10-minute quarters is ridiculous. But I'd also like to see the same bonus structure but per quarter. So 7 fouls per quarter before bonus. Would cut down a crap ton on FTs which would just be fantastic.

With UI losing two assistant coaches, I've been casually following their search (1 down, 1 to go evidently).  Saw a link to this article about potential candidates:  https://writingillini.com/2021/05/04/illinois-basketball-5-assistant-coach-options-illini/amp/3/

I had to LOL at the last sentence regarding the 3rd potential candidate (hint: former IU assistant Ostrom).
