These rule changes are coming to college basketball in 2023-24

Each year, the NCAA comes together in the offseason and reviews a number of rules in college basketball. This seasons, some significant changes are coming to the sport as the NCAA announced rule changes for 2023-24 on Thursday afternoon.

These rule changes cover a wide variety of topics, from jersey numbers to legal guarding position on block/charge calls.

The rule is going towards the offense with regards to block/charge, as the NCAA tries to eliminate some of the late attempts to draw charges that often result in dangerous plays.

Here is a look at each rule change and the description from the NCAA:

Legal Guarding Position

From the NCAA:

Under the new rule, a defender will have to be in position to draw a charge at the time an offensive player plants a foot to go airborne to attempt a field goal. If the defender arrives after the offensive player plants a foot to launch toward the basket, officials will be instructed to call a block when contact occurs between the two players.

A secondary defender still would have to be outside the restricted-area arc to legally draw a charge.

Previously, defenders had to be in position to draw a charge before the offensive player went airborne.

NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee members made the proposal after receiving feedback from the membership that too many charges are being called on these types of plays. Through the years, block/charge calls have been among the toughest for officials to judge.

The rules committee thinks the change will give officials more time to officiate these plays.
