Coincidence?
I swear that on Saturday, February 26, I found an article in a 1962 newspaper that announced rule changes that had been adopted for the next basketball season. (I know, one of you guys has this in your attic, but I wasn't even born yet!) I even made a copy of the article, but it is at home and I am not right now. Off the top of my head, I remember two of the changes. One was the introduction of the block between the first and second positions. The article mentioned that it was to discourage contact during rebound action, but it did not mention why that specific size had been chosen. The other one that I remember was that they stopped the practice of shooting free throws for player control fouls.
Does anybody care what the third one was?
