Bruce Pearl is unequivocal in his dislike for the newly implemented NCAA block/charge rule this season. Nevertheless, the head coach of Auburn in his tenth year is strategizing to fully capitalize on it.
“What it’s done is brought the driving game and the 1-on-1 game back into the game in a huge way,” explained Pearl. “Put your head down and just go take it — the rule change has brought that in. We’re incorporating some of that. Some of that is one of the reasons why K.D. (Johnson) has been effective and playing really well.
“So, in my recruiting, if the rule changes, I’m going to start bringing in guys who can drive the ball to the basket, and we’ll just play 1-on-1 out there. I don’t think it’s very pretty basketball.”

Primarily affecting secondary defenders rotating over to draw a charge, the new rule alters the timing criteria. Previously, defenders had to set their feet before the offensive player initiated a shot. Now, the defender must be in position before the offensive player plants their foot before taking flight.
“It’s at least a second of difference,” noted Pearl.
While Pearl criticizes the rule change, his primary grievance is with its timing—implemented on June 8, well after most college rosters were finalized for the upcoming season.
“We make a rule change and announce it at the start of basketball season,” Pearl stated. “Why don’t you make a rule change and announce it at the end of last year, so we can recruit to it?”
