I wonder why the committee decided on three feet versus four feet like the NBA? Also, I'm not surprised that they've recommended expanding the restricted area from directly under the rim to the current proposal. I also think the rule was a freaking joke without having the restricted area marked. I do think that this rule will definitely be passed. I do wonder if they'll word the rule to mimic the NBA as far as when the RA goes into effect/doesn't (secondary defender, plays originating in a lower defensive box, player alights, overt movements, etc)?
As for flagrant one vs flagrant two, I don't see this one as a big deal and it'll be easier for the fan since it'll be similar to the NBA terminology.
