EW YORK – The NBA announced today that its Board of Governors has approved rules changes for the 2016-17 season pertaining to deliberate away-from-the-play fouls.

“In looking at the data and numerous potential solutions to combat the large increase in deliberate away-from-the-play foul situations, we believe these steps offer the most measured approach,” said Kiki VanDeWeghe, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations. “The introduction of these new rules is designed to curb the increase in such fouls without eliminating the strategy entirely.”

Rules Changes Relating to Deliberate Away-From-The-Play Foul Rules

• The current rule for away-from-the-play fouls applicable to the last two minutes of the fourth period (and last two minutes of any overtime) – pursuant to which the fouled team is awarded one free throw and retains possession of the ball – will be extended to the last two minutes of each period.

• For inbounds situations, a defensive foul at any point during the game that occurs before the ball is released by the inbounder (including a “legitimate” or “natural” basketball action such as a defender fighting through a screen) will be administered in the same fashion as an away-from-the-play foul committed during the last two minutes of any period (i.e., one free throw and possession of the ball).

• The flagrant foul rules will be used to protect against any dangerous or excessively hard deliberate fouls. In particular, it will presumptively be considered a flagrant foul if a player jumps on an opponent’s back to commit a deliberate foul. Previously, these type of fouls were subject to being called flagrant but were not automatic.

Rule change to the intentional foul off the ball now the last two minutes of every quarter.

Not sure it changes much.

Don't think Simmons will be coming to the Kings

Pointless Hack-a rule change. Either change the rule properly or dont change it at all. I'm in the boat of hoping theyd change it, but Id say thats because it affects me more when Pistons games can get boring as when Dre is hacked.

Canaan to Chicago

Meh

Meh

That's a good signing.

Can shoot the three and not a bad defender.

Replacing Aaron Brooks.

Drummond shouldn't be bailed out because he can't shoot free throws.

 

[Drumroe]

Drummond shouldn't be bailed out because he can't shoot free throws.

I agree. Im talking on pure aesthetics of me watching the game Id prefer if they changed the rule.

Majority of rule changes in NBA and AFL are to make the game better to watch.

I choose to believe that this was intentional.

 

[QuietB]

I disagree. There are too many of Sir Charles jump shooters on the floor already - lets not encourage more

If Simmons was playing for the Warriors next season he would average 25 assist per game.

Can shoot the three yes

Defence. ...not so mucho

But yeah on that contract as a bench gunner it's a decent get

Canaan can defend.

 

[Santoz]

If I carried the ball for the Warriors and had Steph, Klay, Draymond & Durant to pass it to, I'd have 25 assists a game too.

They'd sag off me less than Simmons as I shoot better ...

 

[stewie griffen]

Canaan can defend.

All the reports I've seen from Philly are non plusses.

And if you can't crack it as a point in Philly. ...
