Summary of Main Rule Changes 2010

Art 16 - Goal at the end of a period

A new paragraph is introduced to better define how much time can remain during a shot, tap or dunk.

The game clock must indicate 0:00.3 (three tenths of a second) or more for a player to gain control of the ball on a throw-in or on a rebound after the last or only free throw in order to attempt a shot for a field goal. If the game clock indicates 0:00.2 or 0:00.1 the only type of a valid field goal made is by tapping or directly dunking the ball.
