Season headlines

  • Blocked shots and steals both became official statistics tracked by the NCAA. David Robinson of Navy became the first national blocked shot champion, averaging 5.91 per game for the season. The first steals champion was Darron Brittman of Chicago State, with 4.96 per game.[1]

Major rule changes

Beginning in 1985–86, the following rules changes were implemented:

  • The 45 second shot clock was introduced.
  • With the shot clock's introduction, the so-called "lack of action" count (when the offense fails to attempt a shot in a five-second timeframe) was abolished.
  • If a shooter was fouled intentionally and the shot was missed, the penalty was two shots and possession of the ball out of bounds to the team who was fouled.[1]
  • Conferences were permitted to experiment with a three-point field goal, provided the distance was set to at least 19 feet, 9 inches from the center of the basket.
