Wasn't offensive goaltending originally one of the "Wilt Chamberlain Rules?" If I recall the story, when Chamberlain was in Kansas, his teammates felt free to throw up shots knowing that Wilt was around to guide then into the basket when needed. The rule was passed which made it illegal to touch the ball on its downward flight. Also, this was when the lane was widened, if I am not mistaken. If I am mistaken, JR will likely be resurrected and point out my mistake(s).
