NBA tells referees to crack down on push-offs
Original: NBA issues new guidelines, instructs refs to crack down on push-offs
The NBA has issued new guidelines instructing referees to officiate push-offs more strictly, a move that will affect how star ball-handlers create separation from defenders. The league is emphasizing the rule ahead of the season, and the change is likely to draw attention in early games as officials adjust to calling more offensive fouls on guards and wing players who shove off defenders.
Why now: The change could significantly affect star players' signature moves and early-season foul calls.
