New Rules Curb Kansas Ace
The NCAA rules committee sanctioned two new basketball rules for the 1957-58 season affecting tall stars. Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas loses the right to tip in a miss until the ball hits backboard or net loop, except on passes that are dunked from near the basket. Bill Russell and Bill Uhl previously capitalized on tipped-in shots, while Uhl’s free throw tip-ins face new restrictions. A new free throw lane rule extends the lane to high schools and aims to curb delaying tactics, with a 12-foot lane already adopted by the schedule.
