I'm not sure if ALL the changes are for this season but off the top of my head:
Personally, I can't find a single rule I don't like. Most of the rules seemed geared towards higher offensive games in that they limit what defenders can do. I wonder if scoring averages are up across WCBB, or if it's only had a negligible impact. What do the rest of you think?
- 4 quarters instead of 2 halves
- Calling a time out in the last minute does NOT advance the ball to past half court
- No 1 and 1 - teams get 2 FT's automatically after the 5th foul in any quarter
- Four time outs carry over into the 2nd half if not used
- No charge zones - where defenders can't plant themselves to take charges (or the "anti-ND rule)
- 2 handed touch fouls called
- Defenders can only place one hand or forearm on offensive players
- Instant replay reviews
