Hall of Fame Basketball Coach Reacts to Rules Change

Share

A significant rules change is being made starting with the upcoming winter 2023-24 basketball season.

Last month, the IHSA announced the foul limit is going to be reduced to five fouls with a two free throw bonus after that, eliminating the one-and-one scenarios, and the fouls reset after each quarter.

It mirrors what the NBA does and the IHSA says this is to prevent injuries during rebounding situations during the one-and-one. Clinton High School boy’s basketball coach Vic Binkley was surprised this was the rules change the IHSA decided to implement this year.

The Hall of Fame coach believes end of game situations will be handled very differently for coaches as there will be a variety of things coaches will have to consider when deciding to foul.

The IHSA allowed limited experimentation with shot clocks last season during tournaments and shootouts. Many coaches reacted positively to that experiment.
