Rule Change Ends Free Throws On Offensive Fouls
The National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada voted to end awarding free throws after an offensive foul in college basketball. The rule shifts possession to out of bounds for the fouled team. Also adopted were clock stop after violations for substitutions, a neutral zone on free throws, and signaling changes for timeouts without violations. High school games will use three minute overtimes, replacing domestic playoffs.
