So you don't wonder "why didn't Coach Snyder call a 20 second timeout here" next season.

Definitely will limit the amount of offense/defense subs at the end of games.

Finally.

But I believe that replays/reviews are going to negate any improvements by this new timeout policy.

SECAUCUS GONNA BE LIT

A couple of additional rule changes for y'all: (from http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/nba-changes-rules-to-improve-game-flow/)

• Referees will call a delay-of-game violation if a free-throw shooter ventures beyond the three-point line between attempts.
• Halftime will last 15 minutes for all games, beginning immediately upon expiration of the second period. A delay-of-game penalty will be issued if a team is not ready to start play at the expiration of the halftime clock.

The Board of Governors also moved the trade deadline from the Thursday after the NBA All-Star Game to the Thursday 10 days before the All-Star Game. They hope that teams will be able to settle their rosters before the break and avoid the disruptions following the All-Star break.

I propose we call that last one the "Kanter rule"

That's great. Cut down preseason, and then you can space out the regular games at least a little more.

They need to call a delay of game if the opposing team keeps crossing over the lane between free throw attempts or if they continue to swap which players are standing at the lane. This is a known delay tactic to ice the shooter and needs to stop.

I like it. Coaches are going to have to be thinking fast on their feet with 2 less timeouts.
