Define "during the game"?

Does this mean that announcing the player who scored the basket is now prohibited?

It would seem so. This could be a PITA rule.

I would be surprised if many local and state ( or Provincial, in my case) associations didn't issue a directive to supersede this rule.

I think this is much to do about nothing. I think it is probably to prevent announcers to constantly talk when it is not necessary. Another rule that is vague and until now doubt anyone would notice this wording was changed. I do not see myself doing anything different and would not be surprised if it is not addressed at all. And if it is addressed, there probably would be a clarification.

Peace
