Re: Are true bigs (centers) no longer good for college basketball?

It's not that they aren't good for college ball any more

Hibbert has been very effective throughout his career and of course Oden led Ohio St to the championship game.

However I completely agree with you on the foul stuff. I really think the NCAA should make 6 fouls instead of 5 to foul out.

Of course the game is shorter than the NBA (40 minutes as opposed to 48) and the shot clock is 35 seconds but because the court is smaller, the 3 point line is closer this brings the player a lot closer and makes a more physical game. Also typically NCAA offense is more team oriented and less individual than in the NBA which also makes big men more prone to foul trouble. Finally young athletic big men are often still learning the game when they enter college and commit ticky tack fouls. I really think 6 fouls would help this problem.
If a guy commits 2 quick ones in the first half they don't half sit out basically the rest of the half.
