Big Ten Tests Defense Focus With Two Experimental Rules
The Big Ten suspends the bonus free throw on the first six team fouls each half and adopts a no harm no foul policy to curb offense. Officials report mixed defensive tactics, shorter games by several minutes, and fewer fouls especially in mid court. Bill Haarlow expects the six foul rule to become collegiate standard next year. Fans may take longer to accept the no harm policy.
