The NCAA men's basketball rules committee has recommended a package of changes that would include the reduction of the shot clock from 35 to 30 seconds.

The committee met earlier this month with an effort to improve the pace of play and improve scoring in the men's game.

In addition to the shot clock reduction, a few other changes include the expansion of the restricted arc under the basket from three feet to four feet, the elimination of a team timeout in the second half and the removal of the ability for a coach to call timeout when the ball is live.

The shot clock was last adjusted for the 1993-94 season when it was reduced from 45 seconds to 35 seconds.
