In a statement from FIBA, it was noted that the rule changes, which will take effect on October 1, were proposed by the “FIBA Rules Advisory Group,” composed of coaches, players, referees, and experts.<\/p>\n
It was reported that the new rules were subsequently reviewed by the FIBA Technical Commission and approved by the FIBA Central Board.<\/p>\n
One of the most notable changes among the amendments is the revision to the technical foul rule. Under the new rules, technical fouls will be divided into two distinct categories based on their nature and severity. One category involves fouls that could result in a player\u2019s disqualification, while the other does not lead to disqualification.<\/p>\n
It was also reported that two changes were made regarding video review of positions. The statement said, \u201cAt any point during the game, violations involving contact with the rim (goaltending) or interference with the basket (basket interference) following a foul will be allowed to be reviewed using the Instant Replay System (IRS).\u201d It was noted that this change was made because the previous rule did not provide a sufficiently balanced disciplinary system.<\/p>\n
Regarding another significant change on this matter, the statement noted: \u201cDuring the final 2 minutes of the fourth quarter and throughout all overtime periods, when the ball is inbounded from the sideline, a foul committed by the defensive team will be reviewed via the Instant Replay System (IRS).”<\/p>\n
Revision to the “shooting motion” definition<\/p>\n
FIBA has revised the definition of \u201cshooting motion\u201d to prevent players from manipulating the rules to draw undeserved fouls.<\/p>\n
The new regulation aims to prevent offensive players, in particular, from attempting to draw fouls by feigning a shot after making contact.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, for a movement to be considered a \u201cshooting action,\u201d the player in possession of the ball must have initiated the motion of raising their shoulders and arms upward with the intent to shoot toward the basket.<\/p>\n
The concept of unsportsmanlike fouls has been divided into two categories<\/p>\n
Under the new rules, changes will also be made to the definition of unsportsmanlike fouls.<\/p>\n
With the introduction of these rules, the concept of an \u201cunsportsmanlike foul\u201d will be eliminated and replaced with the definitions of \u201cobstruction foul\u201d and \u201cflagrant foul.\u201d<\/p>\n
FIBA explained that this change is intended to ensure more proportionate penalties, to more clearly distinguish game stoppages made for tactical purposes from dangerous contact, and to reduce the likelihood of players automatically facing more severe disciplinary sanctions.<\/p>\n
It was also emphasized that, under the new rules, the requirement for basketball players\u2019 socks to be visible will be removed, and greater flexibility will be granted regarding line colors and court markings to align with modern marketing needs.<\/p>\n
Additionally, it was reported that FIBA will organize a series of online seminars for national federations in August, and that the updated version of these rules will be published in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a statement from FIBA, it was noted that the rule changes, which will take effect on October…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,40755,389235,38794,85],"class_list":["post-814371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-fiba","tag-foul","tag-rule-change","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
