Changes are:
1) Bottom spaces left open on free throws.
2) Technical foul charged directly to head coach for illegal shirts, numbers, instead of to the player. The article doesn't state whether there would be one "T" maximum or one for each violation.
3) usual crap about headbands.

I think for the first time in 8 years, and 16,000 posts, Jurassic has started a thread.

Nah, he's started 27 threads, although 8 of those were not in the basketball forum. http://forum.officiating.com/search.php?searchid=103291

And surprisingly only 2 of them (7%) have been locked.

It's that kind of mean spiritedness that makes people cry.

I'm simply repulsed!

Repulsed, I tell ya!

why would they make this change without letting them in on the release?

i don't understand the change if they don't allow them in on the release.

won't it really diminish the chance of an offensive rebound?

"they" want the defense to get the FT rebound so it's a good thing.
In fact that's part of the reason ncaa men's went to that lineup, decreases the odds of offensive rebounds.

I think the answer to your question is yes, and I also wonder why they didn't change the restriction on entering the lane to the release, instead of the rim.

From my perspective, this change essentially returns the chances of a defensive rebound to a point close to where it was when less contact was allowed.

The way the rule has been the last few years, the offensive player in the second lane space actually had the best chances of getting the rebound - and I'm sure we've all seen that in games. This way, the defensive player has that spot and now has the reaction time to allow them to get the rebound. Not allowing them in on the release cuts down the amount of contact - so the rules committee takes care of two concerns - the amount of "rough" play and the number of offensive rebounds on free throws.

Sorry Smitty, but those are only the comments on the rule changes, not the actual text that will appear in the new rules book. However, what is written there for the POEs probably is the actual wording that will make it into the book.
