NBA Makes Suns Happy With Division Move and Playoff Rule Change
NEW YORK AP Christmas came in February for Jerry Colangelo, Suns GM, as the NBA Board shifted Phoenix from the Midwest to the Pacific Division and altered playoff criteria for 1972-73. Houston moves to the Midwest. The four best records in each conference earn playoff spots, with the rest allocated to the two remaining top teams in each conference, regardless of division. This could allow three teams from one division into the playoffs while only the division winner from another advances. The article notes Phoenix missed the 1971-72 playoffs despite a 48-34 record. Additional actions include a March 25 deadline for post-season applications and a telephone draft on April 10, plus opening and closing dates for 1972-73 and a $725,000 playoffs purse.
