Preface<br />
Sportsmanship<br />
The primary goal of the rules is to maximize the safety and enjoyment of the<br />
student-athlete. Sportsmanship is a key part of that goal. Sportsmanship should<br />
be a core value in behavior of players and bench personnel, in crowd control by<br />
game management and in the officials’ proper enforcement of the rules governing<br />
related actions.<br />
The NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules have been designated<br />
as either administrative rules or conduct rules. Typically, administrative rules<br />
are those dealing with preparation for the contest. The conduct rules are those<br />
that deal directly with the playing of the contest. Some administrative rules<br />
(as indicated) may be altered by mutual consent of the competing institutions.<br />
Others (as indicated) are unalterable. No conduct rule may be changed by<br />
mutual consent. All NCAA member institutions are required to conduct their<br />
intercollegiate contests according to these rules.<br />
In the Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules, the administrative rules that may<br />
be altered by mutual consent of the competing institutions are Rule 1, Sections<br />
2, 3, 20 and 3-5.10. The administrative rules that may not be altered are Rule 1,<br />
Sections 4 through 7, 15, 16 and 18; Rule 2, Section 1; and the free-throw lane<br />
diagram. All of the other rules are conduct rules and may not be altered.<br />
The rules are divided into articles for ease of reference. Equipment/<br />
apparel rules that are of concern primarily to manufacturers are contained in the<br />
rules supplements that follow this section. All court measurements are included<br />
on the expanded court diagram.<br />
Those desiring interpretations of rules or play situations are asked to send questions via email.<br />
