NBA's Reggie Miller Rule Will Be Enforced
NEW YORK (CBS SPORTS) - As the NBA has decided to "crack down on flopping" with its new shiny fines for such an offense, there have been a few additions to the rule book and what will be enforced this season.
While many people wondered if flopping would lead to technical fouls, some also were curious to see if the league would institute FIBA's goaltending rule (once the ball touches the rim on a shot, a player can knock it away). The league passed on the FIBA rule, but it did tweak a few of the current rules that will affect the game but not as dramatically as we once presumed.
In addition to reviewable replay calls at the end of games, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe lets us know shooters kicking their legs out to draw fouls won't be tolerated anymore.
This is going to be pretty interesting to see just how much officials continue to fall for this kind of move as opposed to how much they recognize it in real time and call the offensive foul. This is a play that has been called on the defensive player many times instead of just being a no-call. Now they're going to go in the other direction and call it an offensive foul?
