Referees throughout the country
are under fire this year because of
the enforcement Of Z new ruling
which provides a penalty for the
player dribbling when he has a clash
with the defensive guard. Formerly
the guard was held responsible for
any foul made through the personal
contact of the two players whether
or not the dribbler plunged through
or forced his way by in any other
way.
