A lot of rules/guidelines are different from the college to the pro game (some better, some worse.) What would you change in college basketball? For example, I think the shot clock should be shortened in college.

Though I somewhat agree with you about the length of the shot clock in college b-ball, I don't think that the rules committee should shorten it to the 24 second time period which is of course the NBA length. That might be a bit too short, and would take away a strategy when a less skilled team is trying to slow down an offensive power. The disparity of skill between some teams is somewhat evened out by hanging onto the ball a little longer, and makes many an otherwise lopsided game at least a little more competitive. Maybe finding a length of time between the NCAA and NBA rules would be a viable alternative.
I don't see too much wrong with the way the college game is played, really, but would like to see the rules that are already in place to be enforced more consistently - and that brings me to my two pet peeves - the lack of consistency regarding carrying the ball, and traveling.
It seems that somewhere along the line, many people forgot that basketball is a game of skill, and part of the game involves the use of pivot foots and SKILLFULLY dribbling the ball to advance it. If these things were taken care of, kids would actually concentrate on developing their skills fully, instead of simply doing the skill half-***ed (edited myself there!) :-) You get the point.
Other than that, I think the game is fine. Don't even get me started on dunking!

I would change the jump ball, tie up rule. I think the ball should go to the defender. For me there is nothing worse than seeing a kid work his butt off on defense tie up the ball from the guy on offense, but the offense keeps the ball. You see a lot more hustle for the ball in college vs. the pros and it is a shame for a stupid possession arrow to decide things. Especially at the end of games. The consequence of changing this rule would be a lot more hustle in the players but also most likely more fouls. It is always tough for refs to make the call in these situations as it is and changing the rule would create more of these situations.

less timeouts and more intentional fouls called with under 2minutes remaining.
