Rule Change : 4 – 19 - 3d • Intentional Foul • “Excessive contact with an opponent while the ball is alive or until an airborne shooter returns to the floor.” • Should reduce subjectivity and interpretation in making rulings on intentional fouls. • Should address the issue of contact with the elbow. • Do not get stuck on your definition of “intent”.
Rule Change : 9 – 1 - 4 • Players in marked lane spaces will be able to move into the lane when the ball is released by the free throw shooter • Simplified coverage – Officials will no longer have to watch players and the ball hit the ring/backboard at the same time.
Rule Addition: 10 – 6 - 12 • Intent: Eliminate excessive contact on ball-handlers and dribblers outside of the lane area. • The following acts will be a foul when committed against the ball-handler / dribbler: • Placing two hands on the ball handler / dribbler. • Placing an extended arm bar on the ball handler / dribbler. • Placing and keeping a hand on the player. • Contacting the player more than once with the same hand or alternating hands.

Rule Addition: 10 – 6 - 12 • Intent: Eliminate excessive contact on ball-handlers and dribblers outside of the lane area. • Challenges: • Train officials and implement with fidelity and consistency • Educate coaches and players to the new rules. • Avoid falling into the “Let Them Play” trap. • Start from the first game of the preseason.
Points of Emphasis • Announcer Responsibilities • The announcer shall be prohibited from interrupting the game through the use of the microphone unless there is an emergency. • Announcements or comments shall be made during those times when there is a stoppage of the clock and the ball is not live, such as time outs, between quarters, per-game, half time, and post game. • The announcer is allowed to announce basic information that does not potentially affect the play in general, the players, the coaches, or the officials
Points of Emphasis • Correctable Errors • Failure to award a merited free throw • Awarding an unmerited free throw • Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw • Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket • Erroneously counting or cancelling a score
Points of Emphasis • Front Court and Back Court Ball Status • The determination of the ball is determined by the location of object that the ball last touched inbounds as long as there is team control inbounds. • The determination of the player is determined by where the player is touching the floor or, in the case of the airborne player, where the player was last in contact with the floor.
Points of Emphasis • Team control status during throw in and inbounds • Since a 2011-12 rule change, team control exists during a throw in when the thrower in has the ball at her/his disposal. • The change was made ONLY to eliminate the penalty of administering free throw(s) when a teammate of the thrower in commits a common foul during the throw in. • The penalty now is the awarding of a throw in to the opposing team at the spot out-of-bounds nearest to where the foul occurred.
