I find #37 hilarious. There's already like a 1-1 coach to player ratio. And now the head coach has to be able to go out to half court to yell at his players? Can kids today not retain anything? Also back in my day we ran up hill both ways on the court....

I was more interested in the other part of #37 as it relates to the re-setting of the shot clock to 20 instead of 30. The coaches box thing is probably of little significance anyway unless the officials are going to enforce it.

I'm guessing it will be early December when the first coach-on-coach fisticuffs occurs. ;)

I like the split of quality wins into four groupings instead of three how its traditionally been done. Good MAC teams will fall in the second 31-75 grouping which gives good value in the new system. Road games in the top 75 are in the top tier with road 76-135 in the second tier. Good for a conference that finishes 11th, 12th, 13th in the rankings with several Top 100 teams. Tougher for the power conferences to game with their .500 teams with only 1 win in category 1 while an Akron could have a couple Top 75 road wins in conference play.

Column 1: Home games against teams ranked 1-30, neutral games vs. top-50 teams, road games against top-75 teams

Column 2: Home games against teams ranked 31-75, neutral games vs. 51-100, road games vs. 76-135

Column 3: Home games against teams ranked 76-160, neutral games vs. 101-200, road games vs. 136-240

Column 4: Home games against teams ranked 161-351, neutral games vs. 201-351, road games vs. 241-351
