Drastic Changes In Cage Rulings
The National Basketball rules committee announced four major changes effective for the 1944 45 season. Personal fouls rise from four to five, unlimited substitutions are allowed, officials may suspend play at any time, and defenders may not touch the ball on a downward shot toward the basket. The goal is awarded if touched by a defender during a try, except when the shot is obviously short of the basket.
