could formally agree to recommend legislative concepts in areas of
autonomy to the five autonomy conferences to consider sponsoring into the
autonomy legislative cycle. Such a process will facilitate greater

REPORT OF THE
NCAA DIVISION I MEN’S BASKETBALL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
JUNE 27-28, 2016, MEETING Note: This document does not include any items that are included in the NCAA Division
I Council report. KEY ITEMS.
1. Meeting with National Broadcast Media. The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball
Oversight Committee discussed several college basketball related topics during a meeting
with media representatives from national and conference network television entities. The
committee plans to review the following areas to assist in expanding the fan base and
elevating college basketball awareness throughout the season: (a) increased broadcast
media access to coaches/teams with the extent and level of access to be defined; (b)
change the first permissible contest date to midweek in November; (c) increased
transparency in the NCAA championship selection process during the season; and (d)
attracting younger fans to the game through digital platforms. Consideration will be
given on how to best continue the open communication and dialogue with broadcast
media in the future, including possible future meetings.
2. Increasing Division I Influence in the Playing Rules. The Men’s Basketball Oversight
Committee reviewed feedback from Divisions II and III and the NCAA Playing Rules
Oversight Panel on the two models to increase Division I influence on playing rules.
Although the option to recommend an increase in Division I representation on the NCAA
Men’s Basketball Rules Committee to establish a majority of Division I members was
discussed, support was maintained for the model that will provide increased
communication between the Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee and the Men’s
Basketball Rules Committee. The increased communication will include the opportunity
to provide guidance to the Men’s Basketball Rules Committee regarding suggested areas
of focus and provide feedback on proposed rules changes.
3. USA Basketball Coach License Program. The Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee
received an update from USA Basketball regarding the USA Basketball coach license
program. The Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee, in conjunction with the NCAA
Division I Women’s Basketball Oversight Committee, agreed to transition the coach
certification process, including background checks, from the NCAA enforcement staff to

4. Men’s Basketball Committee Update. The Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee
reviewed the Men’s Basketball Committee May 2016 report and received an update
regarding the 2017 Men’s Final Four of the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship in
Phoenix.
5. Officiating and Playing Rules Update. The Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee
supported a recommendation by the Men’s Basketball Rules Committee and subsequently
approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel that would allow a coach to call a timeout
when the coach’s team is attempting a throw-in. An update on a new interpretation on the
restricted area arc rule was received and areas to be considered as future rules changes
were reviewed. The need for continued consistent enforcement of the officiating
directives and the importance of sportsmanship during the regular season were discussed.
These areas of emphasis will be reviewed with the Collegiate Commissioners Association
prior to the start of the 2016-17 playing season.
6. NBA Draft Process. The Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee reviewed statistics on
the new legislation that permits underclassmen to declare for the NBA draft and attend the
NBA combine. Results of a survey that was distributed to the senior compliance
administrator at institutions that had one or more student-athletes receive an invitation or
questionnaire to the combine will be reviewed in October. Based on the feedback,
potential legislative or process changes will be discussed.
