Also if it was a two or a three. Gee - what radical changes this season. I'm going to print them out and staple them to my bag so I won't forget them.

Actually, the fewer the number of changes, the better my feeble brain likes it.

If that's all there is, it's a good year.

Minimal changes are good.

Peace

The more minimal, the better. This is actually less than what the FED football brethren have to deal with in the fall.

What about the last of the edited rules:
Clarified that a player occupying a marked lane space must have one
foot positioned near the outer edge of the free-throw lane line with the
other foot positioned anywhere within the designated 36 inch lane space.

One foot forward and one foot back? Why? Am I reading this right?

It's simply saying that at least one foot must be along the line. Can't have both feet back off the line.

I read that as one foot has to be near the line and the other can be anywhere including near the line.

Is that what you tell your wife?

OK - now you can reply "At least that's not what I say to your wife".

That's not an edit, it's a rule change and I don't like it. It's designed, I'm sure, to slow down the reverse pivot move from the second spot.

1. I wish they'd quit hiding rule changes as editorial changes.
2. This is too nitpicky, IMO.

Rough play isn't a POE this year? Isn't this the first year in quite a few (i seem to remember it from at least the last 3 or 4) that it hasn't been a POE?

[Adam]

Maybe it is, but they can't list it in the changes.

This doesn't say that you have to put the other foot back -- just that one foot has to be near the line.

*slapping myself on the head* I knew you would come up with something Mark.

I know, and that's a change in the rule that i don't particularly like.
