PBA slowly adjusting to FIBA Rules

in PBA
i do believe this warrants its own thread (and not the main PBA thread) because it tackles a very specific topic especially regarding the issue of PBA vs. FIBA rules--- it's been used and abused to the extent that some people are disregarding some facts.
There are still obvious differences of course (5 fouls vs. 6 fouls, 40 minutes vs. 48 minutes) but you have to admit the recent changes is a start and will (especially) help the Smart Gilas team which is set to play this conference in the PBA--- not to mention, adjusting to FIBA rules which is what everyone wants the PBA to do.

The article from that thread:
The Board likewise opened the gates for another round of rules changes, particularly in terms of physical contact during the game, and was looking forward to its Hall of Fame Awards where the PBA will elevate seven individuals.
Alvarez said that the referees will be more relaxed with regards to physical contact. Likewise, the three-point line will be restored to its previous distance of 22 feet, one foot and six inches farther from the former distance of 20 feet and six inches. Another change of note, among others, is the tolerance of swatting the ball away once it hits the back-board.
These rules, though, will be first tested during the pre-season tournament that begins on Sept. 25 at the Cuneta Astrodome before it will be officially implemented.
The league will also revert back to the rectangular shape of the shaded lane from the trapezoid, allow players to hang on to the rim after a dunk, ease up on the "landing spot rule" and declare live a ball that hit the top of the backboard.
And from this LINK:
OFFICIAL BASKETBALL RULES 2010:
The below mentioned rule amendments will come into effect as follows:
For high level competitions/Level 1 (main FIBA official competitions: i.e. Olympic Tournaments, World Championships for Men and Women, U19 and U17 World Championships for Men and Women and Zone/Continental Championships for Men and Women): as of 1st October 2010, i.e. after the 2010 FIBA World Championship.
For medium level competitions/Level 2 (i.e. all other FIBA official competitions and the high level competitions of the national federations): as of 1st October 2012, i.e. after the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Art. 2.2.3 Free-throw lines and restricted areas
The restricted areas shall be the floor rectangle areas marked on the playing court.
The restricted (three-second) area shall be a rectangle (not anymore a trapezoid) as per Diagram 1 below.
Art. 2.2.4 Three-point field goal area
The distance of the three-point line shall be 6,75 m (and not 6,25 m as present).
Art. 2.2.6 Throw-in side lines
The two (2) small lines shall be marked outside the court, on the opposite side of the scorers table and the team bench areas, with the outer edge at the distance of 8,325 m from the inside edge of the end lines; in other words, level to the top of the three-point line.
During the last two (2) minutes of the game and of the extra period, following the time-out granted to the team that has been entitled to the possession of the ball from its backcourt, the subsequent throw-in will be taken on the opposite side of the scorers table from the throw-in side line and not as presently from the centre line extended.
Art. 2.2.7 No-charge semicircles
The no-charge semicircles shall be marked on the playing court, under the baskets. The distance of the inner edge of the semicircles shall be 1,25 m from the centre of the basket (on the floor).
A charging (offensive) foul should never be called if the contact by the offensive player is with the defensive player standing within the no-charge semicircle.
Art. 29 Twenty-four seconds
If the throw-in is to be administered in the backcourt, if required by the respective rules, the 24 second device shall be reset to 24 seconds.
If the throw-in is to be administered in the frontcourt, if required by the respective rules, the 24-second device shall be reset as follows:
- If 14 seconds or more are displayed on the 24-second device at the time the game was stopped, the 24-second device shall not be reset and shall remain the same.
- If 13 seconds or less are displayed on the 24-second device at the time the game was stopped, the 24-second device shall be reset to 14 seconds.
Slowly but surely, we will get there.

Hope the UAAP, NCAA, and even the weekend pickup games would follow suit.
I'm sure this would be a bit confusing at first. People would complain that its goal-tending. Players would be slow to rebound the ball that hit the top of the backboard and of course the level of physicality. Just keep the calls consistent and the players and coaches would adjust.
also, noticed that hindi sila gaano tumatawag ng illegal pick/screen. i noticed na kahit gumagalaw ang nag set ng pick, basta finight ng depensa automatic foul yung depensa.
its veering away from fiba rules
like the 3pt line to 22ft, the rectangular shaded lane, no harm no foul
the 'jab-step' move
Do you ever read the top posts before you make your post?
I like this change. For players to void injuries, and also it adds excitement to the game.
3 words. Paul Bong Alvarez:D
Pretty much what was first discussed except for the last parts which include a rule that should be named: "Ronald Tubid Rule"
Arwind Santos. *okay*
tama, di sila gaano tumatawag ng off. foul sa illegal screen sa euro basket, same then sa hand check..
last conference panget talaga ng tawagan sa PBA. masyado maselan.
