"The league office is discussing several rule revision plans, including shortening the second offensive time, to enhance the viewing experience of the game."
To adapt to the trend of fast-paced modern basketball, the NBA is considering fine-tuning the rules. Preliminary proposals include resetting the 24-second timer to only 14 seconds after grabbing an offensive rebound, and simplifying the free throw rules for "non-shooting fouls". These changes are intended to reduce game pauses and encourage more transitions, thereby increasing broadcast ratings.
