Season headlines

Major rule changes

Beginning in 1982–83, the following rules changes were implemented:[1]

  • The penalty for a player violating the five-second "closely guarded" count was changed from a jump ball to a turnover, the defense would get the ball at the closest out of bounds spot to where the violation occurred.
