NBA moves to crack down on off-arm shoves by offensive players
Original: NBA attempting crackdown on off-arm shoves by offensive players
The NBA is attempting a crackdown on offensive players using their off-arm to shove defenders, according to the New York Times. The rule emphasis would target a common move used by stars to create separation, and officials are expected to call more fouls on the offensive side. Fans and analysts are likely to debate whether the change will slow elite scorers or clutter the game with whistles.
Why now: The league is signalling a new officiating emphasis that could change how star offensive players are defended this season.
