Finally saw the rule changes for '05-'06. I like this one:
Quote:
Rule 2-13.6 and 7, 4-43, 9-6 (pages 53, 84, 129). Violations when the ball has been intentionally kicked will no longer result in the reset of the shot clock to either 30 seconds (women) or 35 seconds (men). When the violation occurs with 15 or fewer seconds remaining, the shot clock will be reset to 15 seconds. Otherwise, when the violation occurs with more than 15 seconds remaining, there shall be no reset of the shot clock.
Rationale: The committees believed the penalty was too severe for the violation.

If the reaction from coaches is favorable, I bet they'll apply the same rule for fouls, as well.

I doubt it. I think that a penalty for a foul will remain more severe than the penalty for a violation.
