Few Changes Likely for Court Rules
New York UP reports that basketbelt rules, overhauled last spring, will get only a brief spring review. St Clair of Southern Methodist University chairs the NCAA rules committee and says the main suggestion would be for players starting the second half to report. Uniformity of signals by referees and free substitution rules also draw attention as coaches provide reports from about 75 colleges. The five foul rule adopted last year produced more personal fouls in most games.
