The NBA has already made one high-profile rule change this season to disallow players from leaning into defenders and relying on non-basketball moves to draw foul calls. After two weeks of games, another oft-called foul could be on the way out.
The league's Competition Committee reportedly met Tuesday to discuss the uptick in "take" transition fouls, and explored ways to eliminate incentive to utilize the tactic with a rule change, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. This applies to instances in which defensive players attempt to stop a fast break by making deliberate physical contact with the intent to draw a foul and halt play.
