The website says that the rule
hasn't been changed. It's just been
clarified. Iow, the language may have been changed slightly but the purpose and intent of the rule remains the same.
The situations that they mention must be called this year are exactly the same as the the ones they mentioned in the 2000-01 POE's. The only real difference is they've changed their minds about calling an intentional foul if the coach says "foul "em". I don't blame them for backing down on that one, because that was a dumb interpretation anyway- and one that most everybody ignored if the defender went for the ball.
