New FIBA rules 2014?

No-charge semi-circle to protect offensive player in air is good to have in every competition, I like the concept and it should not be hard to implement.

14 Second shot clock re-set after offensive rebound to speed up next shot, I like too.

Tech foul reduced to one shot and possession is interestingly compensated by a second tech foul resulting in the player being disqualified...

Overall I have no great issues with the changes, they seem to be after a quicker game with less chance a result is affected by tech fouls on the score board, but at the same time less tollerance for persistent or repeat tech fouls.

It could only be if the shot hits the ring otherwise it isnt a legitimate shot, the clock would continue to run. Otherwise a team would never be rewarded on defense.

The no charge zone....it's basically saying every competition must use it now.

Interesting that Euroleague may bring back the jump ball instead of the possession arrow. Tells me it will probably come back in after 2018 world cup.

FYI I finally found something with Google. It seems the proposed changes are:

* After an offensive rebound, the shot clock will reset to 14 seconds (not 24)

* The penalty for a technical foul will be one free throw and possession (not two and the possession)

* After two technical fouls on a player they will be ejected

* During the last two minutes of the game there will be a maximum of two timeouts per team, even if they have three left

* Some other change to the no-charge circle which I don't quite understand

Mostly these seem sensible. I'm not sure about the logic behind reducing the penalty for a technical foul, other than being more NBA-like.

BTW the link I found is:

Do Big Men Really Take Longer to Develop?

It seems to be almost accepted wisdom in basketball circles that "big men take longer to develop". That is, they take longer to reach the peak of their development as players.

To me, this seems like somewhat of a myth. IMO, every player develops differently, no matter what their size. There are many factors that influence development:

- Work ethic
- Natural talent
- Athleticism
- Coaching
- Attitude
- Injury
- Opportunity

And so on.

I also think it's often used as an excuse as to why (for example) 'Young Big Man A' hasn't lived up to his full potential yet.

Anyway, I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on the topic. Feel free to give examples as well. Does size really matter when it comes to development, or is it just a myth?
