73. Rule Change:4-19-3d Intentional foul “Excessive contact with an opponent while the ball is alive or until airborne returns to the floor.” Should reduce subjectivity/interpretation in making rulings on intentional fouls. Should address the issue of contact with the elbow. Do not get stuck on the definition of “intent”.

74. Rule Change:9-1-4  Players in marked lane spaces will be able to move into the lane when the ball is released by the free throw shooter.  NFHS changes it back to what it was ?? years ago.  Simplified coverage – Officials will no longer have to watch players and the ball hit the ring backboard at the same time.
