Rule changes

In an unprecedented move to prepare the national team for the coming 2002 Asian Games in Pusan, South Korea, the PBA Commissioner's office proposed several rule changes to take effect in the 2002 Season.

  • Zone defense will be allowed.
  • Total time of the game would be reduced to 40 minutes, 10-minute quarters.
  • The time allowed for an offensive team to cross the halfcourt line was reduced from 10 to eight seconds.
