Cage Rules Body Makes Change in Free Throw Rule
The National Basketball rules committee revised free throw rules to curb intentional fouling. After a technical foul the ball is put in play from mid court out of bounds by the offended side. On personal fouls the offended team may choose the free toss or inbound. Two free throws allow taking one and passing the second. New rules also award two free throws when fouled in the act of shooting from behind or roughed and any player may ask for time out with referee approval.
