Men's collegiate basketball season August 2023 March 2026 1923 North Carolina (retroactive selection in 1943) Charlie T. Black, Kansas (retroactive selection in 1944) The 1923–24 NCAA men's basketball season began in December 1923, progressed through the regular season and conference tournaments, and concluded in March 1924. Rule changes A new rule required the player who was fouled to shoot his own free throws. Previously, a team could pick any player it wanted to shoot its free throws, and usually picked its best free-throw shooter to shoot all of them. The new rule thus brought to an end the practice of a team having a designated free-throw shooter.orangehoops.org History of NCAA Basketball Rule ChangesSchleyer, Claudia, "The Rules of Basketball: Boy How They've Changed!", Youth Hoops 101 Accessed 15 May 2021 July 2026 InternetArchiveBot Season headlines North Carolina went undefeated, going 26-0, under coach Norman Shepard.
