I believe the NBA makes their rules available on their web pages and I'm certain you can buy them at B/N, Borders or on Amazon.
Take what follows with a grain of salt - I didn't see the play & I only read 1 article on the subsequent bruh-ha-ha. What we're talking about here, IMO, is record keeping vs rules. Apparently this triple/double thing is a big deal & the powers that be at the NBA office decided not to somehow taint it. Equally apparent to me that the refs working that game decided what they saw was legal, or they would have blown the whistle. To me it amounts to little more than a blurb in the morning papers saying an error in last night's game has be changed to a hit.
There is one person here who spends time working at NCAA tables, maybe he can help you with how these stats are recorded.
