2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season

On May 5, 2023, the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee proposed a suite of rule changes for the 2023–24 season. These changes are subject to approval by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which is scheduled to discuss men's basketball rules during a June 8 conference call.[1]

• A defender near the basket must be in position to draw a charge before the offensive player plants his foot to jump during a field goal attempt. If the defender arrives after the shooter has planted his foot, the officials are to call a blocking foul if contact occurs.
• Prerecorded or live video can be transmitted to the bench area during the game, on an optional basis. This would make permanent a rule that has been experimental since 2021–22.
• Officials will be allowed to review basket interference or goaltending calls during the next media timeout to ensure the calls' accuracy, as long as they were made during play. Review is immediate if a foul is called on a shot that ended with basket interference or goaltending.
• Non-student bench personnel will be allowed to serve as peacekeepers in any altercation.
• If a coach requests a review of an out-of-bounds play in the last two minutes, that team will be charged a timeout if the challenge is unsuccessful.
• The shot clock will reset to 20 seconds for all offensive rebounds when the original shot has touched the rim.
• If a player is called for a foul, and replay officials see that the foul is the direct result of a flagrant foul against the player who was originally charged with the foul, officials can rescind the foul on the victim of the flagrant foul.
• A timeout nan be granted when a player has possession of the ball while airborne.
• A player will be disqualified if he commits three flagrant 1 fouls in a game, regardless of his overall foul count.
• Red and amber lights can now be placed on the backboard.
• Schools will no longer have to apply for a waiver to allow players to use religious headwear that is safe for competition.
• All numbers from 0–99 will be allowed. Previously, player numbers could only include digits from 0 to 5.

  • Jim Boeheim retired as head coach at Syracuse after 47 seasons, ending with the Orange men missing the 2023 NCAA Tournament for only the 11th time in his coaching history. He finished his career at Syracuse with 1,015–441 record, his 1,015 wins are 6th all time in NCAA history at the time of his retirement. He also helped Syracuse to One National Title, Five Final Fours, Ten Big East Regular Season Titles, Five Big East Tournament Titles, Four Time Big East Coach of the Year, the 2010 Naismith, AP, NABC, Henry Iba and The Sporting News Coach of the year.[2] He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005 & the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.[3][4]
• May 10 – The Northeast Conference announced that Le Moyne would start a transition from Division II and join the conference on July 1.[5]
• May 12 – The Ohio Valley Conference announced that Western Illinois would join from the Summit League effective July 1.[6]

Nineteen schools will join new conferences, become independents, or drop athletics.[7]

The 2023−24 season is the last for at least five Division I schools in their current conferences.[7]

In addition to the above changes, the Indiana University and Purdue University systems will split IUPUI into separate IU- and Purdue-affiliated institutions at the end of the 2023–24 academic year, a move similar to the two systems' dissolution of their joint Fort Wayne campus in 2018. The IUPUI athletic program will be transferred to the new IU Indianapolis, maintaining IUPUI's memberships in Division I and the Horizon League.[8]
