2007-08 NFHS BASKETBALL RULES CHANGES
2-12-4; 5-11-2: Changing the warning horn for a 30-second time-out to be sounded with 15 seconds remaining.
2-12-5: Changing the replacement interval for a disqualified player to 20 seconds, with a warning horn sounded with 15 seconds remaining.
4-15-4d; 9-5-2: Changing that a dribble ends when loss of control by the dribbler is caused by the opponent touching, or being touched by, the ball, rather than an intentional batting of the ball.
4-42-5: Changing that a throw-in ends when the throw-in pass is "legally" touched by another player.
In the past, the rule could "reward" a defensive team that committed a violation, such as kicking the ball during a throw-in. With the previous rule, if a throw-in was kicked by the defense, it could cause the offensive team to be disadvantaged from an alternating-possession standpoint. By adding "legally" to the current rule that defines when a throw-in ends, it eliminates this type of situation from happening.
Signal Chart: Adding a signal (spreading of the arms) for when a defender is not in a closely-guarding position.
In other changes, compression sleeves were added to the list of items that can only be worn for medical reasons, along with guards, casts and braces.
The final revision approved by the committee was changing the warning horn for a 30-second time-out to be sounded with 15 seconds remaining. This change makes all warning horns uniform for intermissions, time-outs and the disqualified player interval.
As it does annually, the committee adopted points of emphasis for the 2007-08 season. The four areas of concern for the coming season are uniforms, free throws, displacement and the ball handler/dribbler.
