Actually it used to be last five (5) minutes.
1965 Official Basketball Rules.
Article 81. Last Five Minutes of Play

During the last five minutes of play of the second half and during all extra periods, all personal fouls shall be considered as committed on a player who is throwing for goal.

Became last three minutes in the 1969 Official Basketball Rules. Captain had the option to take the ball out of bounds instead of shooting the free throws

Thats a long way back. Scorers monitoring a sun dial so they could call out "last 3!".

being reminded of those rule changes makes me wonder "What will the next rule change be?"

What rules would people like to see changed / removed / added/ tweaked to make the game better / less predicatable?

Many of you will be aware of the various announcements clubs need to make each year - right now, we have a lot of trial dates being announced on the forum.

I'd like to keep these on the forum in some capacity (keeps people aware, might attract 36er-fan-families to start their kids at a local club, etc) but is there a better way than as a typical forum topic?

A simple list in a sidebar somewhere?

Are there other regular dates that clubs would like to announce, where all are on level footing? e.g., something that all clubs do at roughly the same time of year?
