I saw this article from AKTV website and all I can say is that its a good change. PBA is tweaking its rules that will benefit players and will encourage more competitive plays in the PBA. PBA new rules , rules.. hustling!
The PBA is tweaking its rules to reward players who show hustle on
the court, giving leeway for those who get on the floor for loose balls.
โIt takes away the excitement when a player who hustles and dives for
the loose ball will be called for a traveling, so weโre implementing a
new rule to cover this,โ said PBA commissioner Chito Salud.
PBA operations manager Rickie Santos went into further detail about the change.
โBefore kasi kapag yung player nag-dive for the loose ball and
nag-slide siya, he will be called for a traveling. This time, he wonโt
be called for a traveling anymore because when a player slides, wala pa
naming may clear possession noon sa bola,โ Santos told InterAKTV.
โBut of course, when the said player stands up, he needs to dribble
the ball first to avoid being called for a travelling violation,โ added
Santos.
