The closest the committee
came to outlawing it, as was
predicted, was when it push- j
ed through a revision aimed at
goal tending. The new rule
provides that players other
than the shooter will not be
permitted to touch the bail on j
the rim or directly above the j
basket.
In other actions, the committee I
(I) adopted the Big Ten's modi- j
fied free throw plan, (2) revised |
the penalty for a double foul, and j
<3> changed the throw-in-rule |
i from the end zones.
The new free throw rule pro
: vides that for the first six times
a team fouls opposing players—
j unless the opponents are in the
; act of shooting or on other two
| shot fouls—the fouled player will
get only one shot.
In each half, on the seventh
common foui. the player win ge a
bonus shot, if he makes the n,
attempt.
This rule applies to college and
amateur Athletic Union teams a
like.
In revising the double foul
rule, the committee provide*
that on such fouls the free
throw will be eliminated arid
the ball returned to the cen
ter of the court for a Jump
off. Each team will have the
right to select its jumper.
The throw-in rule has bean re
i vised to permit the ball to be put
! in play from any position at eith
i or end of the court Instead of
from a 12- foot area under the net,.
In addition to the foregoing, the
committee also strengthened the
five-second rule to reduce "rc
tionlcss or farcial games.” Its new j
rule permits officials to cal) time j
out and warn the team or teams j
| guilty for stalling.
