No, but you just KNOW that they've made some, which is why I was hoping somebody else had put together a list.

I was discussing goaltending today and remembered that they removed "outside the cylinder" from the definition last year in an unannounced change. So I thought I would ask about this season's book.

It's almost a given that there will be some unanounced changes that affect more than what they understand, and there will be announced changes that have little to no real impact on the rules.

Goaltending. No. Basket Interference. Tastes great. No. Less filling.

In Rule 4 . . .

4-15-3:
Was: "The dribble may be started by pushing, throwing or batting the ball to the floor before the pivot foot is lifted."
Now: "The dribble begins by pushing, throwing or batting the ball to the floor before the pivot foot is lifted.
Assessment: I like any time they get rid of the word "may", I'm for it. Sometimes leaves options open that aren't really permitted. Wish they'd clean up 8-1-4 in similar fashion.

4-19-3d:
Oh wait, that one was "announced."

4-20-2:
Was: "The free throw starts when..."
Now: "The free throw begins when..."
Assessment: A distinction without a difference.

Thanks, Freddy. The lack of traffic on this thread makes me feel like there might not be too many this year. I hope that's true. I'll start looking when I get my own books this week.

Or nobody has looked that hard yet.

Has anyone looked at the change concerning arm/leg sleeves. I really like that they have said that anything worn on the arms/or legs is a sleeve. This means the long knee pads, and tights included. They also did away with the medical verification. They just have to meet the color requirements.

I'm guessing guys will still ask, though: right before they tell them to stand still for the jump ball.

This is an announced change, so maybe it deserves its own thread. But we were told that the rule now reads that the color of these items must be black, white, gray or the "dominant" color of the jersey. It used to be any school color.

Again, I don't have my books yet, so maybe somebody can confirm this.
