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[edit]

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.^[1]^[2]

Season headlines[edit]

North Carolina went undefeated, going 26-0, under coach Norman Shepard. The record included the 1924 Southern Conference men's basketball tournament.^[3]
Butler won the annual Amateur Athletic Union basketball tournament — which included both collegiate and amateur non-collegiate teams — becoming the third of only four college teams to do so and the first to win the tournament since 1920.^[4]
In February 1943, the Helms Athletic Foundation retroactively selected North Carolina as its national champion for the 1923–24 season.^[4]
In 1995, the Premo-Porretta Power Poll retroactively selected North Carolina as its national champion for the 1923–24 season.^[5]
