New NBA Rule Changes Are Passed

Board of Governors approved changes designed to improve the flow and pace of the game

NBA Approves Rules Changes

NEW YORK, April 12 -- The NBA Board of Governors today approved several playing rules changes designed to improve the flow and pace of the game. The new rules will go into effect for the 2001-02 season.

The rules changes had been recommended by a select committee on playing rules chaired by Phoenix Suns Chairman and CEO Jerry Colangelo, and were presented to the board at last month's meeting.

The changes are:


1)Illegal defense guidelines will be eliminated in their entirety.

2)A new defensive three-second rule will prohibit a defensive player from remaining in the lane for more than three consecutive seconds without closely guarding an offensive player.

3)The time that a team has to advance the ball past midcourt will be reduced from 10 seconds to eight.

4)Brief contact initiated by a defensive player will be allowed if it does not impede the progress of the player with the ball.

I got this directly from NBA.com this afternoon.  What does everyone think of the changes?  They don't look all that bad to me, and gladly they didn't implement the 35 second shot clock.  It looks like they're trying to make the game more exciting, especially with the defensive 3 in the key rule, it'll get the big C's in the league out of the paint when playing defense, allowing the faster SF,  SG and PG's to penetrate the lane and make more electrifying dunks/layups/moves.

I'm happy with all those changes, I wasn't sure about number 2 at first but now I think it will be a good thing to get the big trees out of the paint.

you're right, the changes will definitely make the game more exciting.

Number 3 could catch a few out until they get used to it.
