Season headlines

Major rule changes

Beginning in 2003–04, the following rules changes were implemented:[2]

  • Officials could consult courtside monitor at the end of either half or any extra period to determine: (1) if a field-goal try beat the horn; (2) whether a shot-clock violation at the end of the first half beat the horn; or, (3) whether a shot-clock violation that would determine the outcome of a game beat the horn. The officials also could use a courtside monitor to correct a timer’s mistake or to determine if the game clock or shot clock expired at or near the end of a period.
  • A team would have control when a player of that team had disposal of the ball for a throw-in.
