Men's ball: size 7, circumference 29.5 inches (74.9 cm), weight 22 oz (623 g); NCAA-approved/NFHS-spec leather or composite cover; orange color standard
Why people argue about this
People often assume that all NCAA Men's basketballs are identical in size and weight, so they argue about why their ball feels different from others. The truth is, while official balls must adhere to specific dimensions and weights as stated by rule, teams sometimes use unofficial or custom-sized balls which can lead to misunderstandings and disputes during games.
