Controversial two minute free throw rule scrapped
The NCAA rescinded the two minute free throw rule in college basketball, saying it increased fouling. The Men’s Basketball Rules Committee voted unanimously to end the rule, which awarded two free throws for each common foul in the last two minutes and overtime when the bonus was active. Edward S. Steitz cited coaching abuse and inconsistent intentional foul calls as reasons for the change. Indiana freshman Marty Simmons commented the change was not fair to players, and Steitz acknowledged the rule warranted more thorough research.
