Trent Tucker, Ralph Sampson, Patrick Ewing, Lew Alcinder, George Mikan ...

We all know the background behind the The Trent Tucker 0.3 Seconds Rule. I'm sure that a lot of veterans know the background behind the Ralph Sampson Backboard Rule, and the Patrick Ewing T-Shirt Rule. Some of us might remember the short lived Lew Alcinder No Dunk Rule. Real old timers know the background behind the George Mikan Goaltending Rule, and the George Mikan Wide Lane Rule.

Were shots taken from behind the backboard allowed before Larry Bird nailed a few of them, including one right here in Connecticut?

Are there any other rules that can be associated with one player?

How about the Patrick Ewing Interfering With The Ball After A Basket Rule. Didn't this happen in an NCAA tournament game?
