Williams Backs Three College Basketball Rule Changes
Rollie Williams of Iowa supports three proposed rule changes at conference meetings in Chicago. He favors a three second rule modification tied to ball possession, moving baskets two feet outward to reduce congestion, and nullifying the ten second rule when the defense crosses center. He also supports trial of eliminating the tipoff after baskets with possible adjustments. Next year's Big Ten schedules will be set after the meeting.
