NBA Rules Committee Revises Zone Defense Ruling
The NBA Rules Committee recommended redefining zone defense and enforcing it 100 percent next season. They proposed six guidelines tested in the Southern California Summer League, plus a reduced penalty for zone violations and collapsible rims pending safety proof. The panel also advised trimming free throws and aligning backcourt fouls with other fouls, while noting a pre-draft camp and Hall of Fame game details.
