NBA tells referees to crack down on push-offs
Original: NBA issues new guidelines, instructs refs to crack down on push-offs
The NBA has issued new guidelines instructing referees to officiate push-offs more strictly, targeting the moves offensive players use to create separation from defenders. The change means stars known for initiating contact with a push could see more offensive fouls called this season. The league is signaling a tighter interpretation of existing rules rather than a new rule, and the adjustment is likely to be scrutinized closely once games begin.
Why now: The NBA has just announced new officiating guidelines affecting how the game will be called, which always sparks debate among fans and analysts.
