Here are some other tidbits from the latest issue of IAABO Sportorials magazine (that I have not already broached in a separate Forum thread).

Postseason Replay: Revises the wording governing state-association adoption of limited replay-monitor use from “state championship series contests” to “postseason tournament contests.”

Airborne Shooter: A player hanging on the ring after a dunk attempt is not considered an airborne shooter.

Basket Interference: Basket interference occurs when a player slaps or strikes the backboard, causing the backboard or ring to vibrate during a try for goal that has the possibility of entering the basket. NOTE: If the try is successful, officials should ignore the violation and allow play to continue. The clarification establishes that the ball does not need to be on or within the basket or touching the backboard. It also prevents points from being awarded on a try with no chance of entering the basket and guides rulings when vibration of the back board, ring or net does not affect the try.

Goaltending: This change simplifies the rule when the ball touches the backboard. A defensive player who touches the ball after it contacts the backboard during a try or tap that has a possibility of entering the basket has committed goaltending. Whether the ball is on its upward flight, at its peak or on its downward flight is no longer relevant.

Jump-Ball Administration: When the tossing official enters the restraining circle, it is a violation for any nonjumper(s) to move onto the center restraining circle (within three feet) or change positions around it. This provides a clear point at which jump-ball restrictions begin.

When a throw-in violation occurs during a division-line throw-in opposite the table, the resulting throw-in remains at the division line opposite the table. This is one of the rare instances in which a violation does not result in the ensuing throw-in being administered at one of the eight designated spots.
