Rule 10. Section I.
The paragraph headed "Note to Officials."

The last sentence in this paragraph should read: "Whenever a player is:
awarded the ball out of bounds, as provided in this Rule, or in Rule ld,
the referee or umpire must handle it before it is put in play. The
players on the Conference teams have been instructed to pass the ball
to the nearer official, immediately after any decision is made. The
officials are instructed to penalize any irregularities in the compliance
with this Rule. Such irregularities would be an undue delay in passing
the ball to the official, throwing the ball too hard, or throwing it
out of the reach of the official. In each out of bounds decision, the
officials are directed to hold the ball just long enough to see that
their decisions have been clearly understood, or in case of confusion,
long enough to permit the players to recover their positions.

For e11 out of bounds decisions it was agreed that the officials should
designate the team éo play the ball in by calling the color of jerséy
that that team is wearing.

Rule 14. Section VII.

free throw.

Rule 14. Section VIII.

In addition to statements of this rule concerning kicking the ball,
intentionally trapping or blocking the ball with the leg or foot is to
be ruled as kicking the ball and is a violation. In other words,
moving the leg or foot into the path of the ball so that the foot or
leg either hits the ball or the ball hits the foot or leg is illegal.

Rule 14. Seetion XII,

The following interpretations are to be used in the clarification of
this section:

1. A player after receiving the ball in his free throw area with his
back to his goal is subject to the 3-second rule. After passing
the ball, said player must immediately move out of the free throw
area. He may not move backward into his guard.

2. A player who is in his free throw area with his back to the goal may
not back up toward his goal.

3. A "post" player must be entirely outside of his free throw area,
may not touch the lane lines, and may not pivot or step in and out
of the area to beat the 3-second rule.
