New Cage Rules To Curb Stalling and Late Rough Play
The National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada announced two rules to curb stalling and late rough play. A foul in the final 120 seconds will be charged as a technical, with the fouled team receiving a free throw and possession out of bounds. Officials will now call a held ball when a closely guarded player withholds the ball for five seconds. The changes, endorsed by coaches after a close 25-24 vote, apply game wide and include center jumps at starts of the second and fourth quarters in some games.
