Multi-Regional Topics / Preseason Sporting News poll
October 07, 2011, 03:08:16 PM
I know it's barely worth the paper it's printed on, but if someone could reproduce the Sporting News preseason poll here I would appreciate it.

Both genders:

- Establishing a three-foot radius arc from the center of the basket, inside which a player cannot be credited with taking a charge.
- Changed terminology on intentional/flagrant fouls (penalties remain the same). An "Intentional" foul is now called a "Flagrant 1" foul. (Penalty: two free throws and possession of the ball). A "Flagrant" foul is now called a "Flagrant 2" foul. (Penalty: offending players ejected, two free throws and possession of the ball).

Women (http://bit.ly/iy9xo4):

- Move three-point line back one foot to 20'9'', equal to the men's distance.
- Experimental rule to be used in 2011-12 scrimmages and exhibition games: Institute a 10-second backcourt violation like the men's game.

Men (http://bit.ly/iUtLw6):

- In games with replay capabilities, coaches may request a review of a possible flagrant foul. If a flagrant foul is not assesed, the coach's team will be charged a timeout. If the team has no timeouts, they will be charged a technical foul.
- Clarified the enforcement of double fouls.
- A team that is late returning to the court after a timeout will issued a formal warning. After the warning, the referee will put the ball in play regardless of if the team that was warned is ready.

More interesting than the Challenge is the fact that the NCAA will be reviewing the tournament selection criteria. They may look at some "football only" adjustments, since the criteria don't always translate well to football's realtively short 10-game regular season.

On the General D-III Issues board posters have discussed the effect of removing the Regional designation for football, and letting all NCAA D-III games (or even ALL games) count.

General football / Aztec Bowl?

Did the Aztec Bowl die out?  I'm sure there was an announcement on here at some point, but I guess I missed it.

Multi-Regional Topics / D3 Championship Belt
January 24, 2007, 02:41:09 PM
OK, this is kind of a corny thing that me and my college buddies used to do for various leagues.  We start the season with the previous year's national champion and award them the "Championship Belt" (think boxing).  That team can then hold the belt until they lose to another D-III team.  Then that team holds the belt as long as they can.  It's kind of a take-off of being "the team, that beat the team, that beat the team." Almost always the Belt winner is also the national champion.  I've tracked it back to the start of this season.  I'll keep track of it for a while and see if any else thinks its fun (or not).

Nov. 17-Nov. 27 - Virginia Wesleyan (lost to Averett 81-73)
Nov. 27-Jan. 2 - Averett (lost to Guilford 74-69)
Jan. 2-Jan. 7 - Guilford (lost to Virginia Wesleyan 75-55)
Jan. 7-Current - Virginia Wesleyan

Next Championship Belt game:  Tonight, Hampden-Sydney at Virginia Wesleyan

Since we are firmly entrenched in conference play it doesn't appear the Belt will get out of the ODAC until tournament time.
