Not Explained Very Well ...

Yeah, we were pretty much told out of bounds are treated as in the past and everything else (violations and common fouls before bonus) go to one of the four (now eight) spots, and a brief mention about timeouts.

No mention of held balls, goaltending, defensive basket interference, throwin violations, alternating possession arrow, inadvertent whistles, etc.

We were all sent into our games last year with our own interpretations of "odd" situations.

Other than the change from four spots to eight spots, the use of the three point arc instead of the imaginary trapezoid, and bouncing the ball across the lane on a backcourt endline throwins, there was no followup this year on the new eight spot rule because most of our time was spent on the new rules for above the rim plays.
