Basketball is a sport in constant evolution, the proof, the Spanish league has decided to put in place a new revolutionary rule for the coming season. Faced with comments asking for the arrival of this rule in the NBA, a young star reacted cash!
Basketball is a constantly evolving sport, especially in the way it is played. Even 15 or 20 years ago, taking a three-point shot was a secondary solution, whereas today it is the basis of all systems, thank you Stephen Curry and the Warriors. But it’s not just the players who can have an influence on the sport, the leaders too.
While consumption patterns are changing at breakneck speed, particularly because of young audiences, all the major leagues are looking for a way to make sport livelier, more attractive. In Spain, a rule has just been put in place to speed up the pace of matches and offer more entertainment to spectators. It will take time to adjust to it.
Throw-in without referees, expected revolution in the NBA?
One of the best basketball leagues in the world, the ACB in Spain, is testing a new rule this season.
When inbounding the ball in the backcourt the referees no longer need to have control of the ball first.

One of the best basketball leagues in the world, Liga Endesa, is testing a new rule this season. During throw-ins in own half, referees no longer have to touch the ball (for the first 38 minutes of the game)
From now on in Spain, when a team has to take a throw-in in its camp, it will no longer have to give the ball to the referee and wait for everyone to get back in place. A player will now be able to take the ball and send his teammates on the counterattack, too bad for the defense if they haven’t made the transition. Moreover, in the comments, many Internet users wonder if this rule is applicable in the NBA…
While this would obviously increase the pace and spectacle, with some big dunks on the counterattack, this rule could also cause altercations with the fans sitting in the front row. A spectator could perfectly take the ball in his hands and refuse to give it to the opposing team, in order to allow his people to come back in defense… Paolo Banchero in any case came across the video, and he reacted:

All major sports leagues they search ways to make the sport livelier, and the Spanish basketball league decided that it was now possible to put the ball back into play without the help of referees. Paolo Banchero prefers to laugh at it rather than see this system arrive in the NBA.
