Wow, that is interesting. Thanks.
"If the officials are at the monitor to review a flagrant foul, this season they will be able to review whether a player has faked a foul. If it is determined that a player faked a foul, a 2-shot class A technical foul will be assessed." -->That one's going to be interesting. Sometimes a player isn't faking, but it looks like they are on the video, and they'll get a T even though they actually took a shot. I expect some grumpy coaches from this one, not that I disagree with the spirit of it. I think most of the time this will be a good thing, but we'll have to see. I do have a concern that more opportunities to go to the monitor will disrupt the game more, even as they're doing other things to reduce disruptions.
On the arm bar thing, a defensive player can use an arm bar against an offensive player posting up with his back to the basket. AND it's illegal for either player to dislodge the other. Is it OK for the offensive player to push against the arm bar and go through it to the basket as long as they don't dislodge the trunk of the defensive player's body? I mean, with the wingspans some players have, it would be crazy to say the offensive player can't go through the defensive player's arm bar.
I wonder if the emphasis on verticality won't reduce the effectiveness of full court pressure. Often when a press is trapping a player, they lean in, and it would seem like this could be called a foul. If trapping defenders can't lean in, then it seems like less turnovers will be forced by presses.
I agree the emphasis on reducing post play physicality is not good for us, though if we learn to use the rule to our advantage on defense, it could help us there.
As much space as our bigs eat up, I am hopeful the emphases on not disrupting cutters and on making sure screens are stationary should help us more than many teams.
One last observation: it seems like the emphasis on respecting legal defending position against offensive players who initiate contact will help us, since we will drive to the basket probably less than other teams, at least this year.

I would imagine the technical fouls for flopping will be reserved for egregious offenses, but that will be interesting to see in effect.
I think the arm bar is only allowed to be used when the offensive player has his back to the basket. So, if the attacker spins/faces up and drives to the basket, it would be a defensive foul or nothing at all if he contacts the arm bar.
I hadn't considered the effect of verticality on the press. I will be intrigued to see if officials enforce the verticality rule in the back court, as I'm sure the intent originated with post defense in mind.
I do agree that these changes could help us as much as hurt us, as long as the staff is quick to make adjustments and coach up the team appropriately. I feel like we have been slow to adapt to rule changes in recent history, and with how aggressive Matty likes the boys to play, I'm a little apprehensive right now. Can't wait till tomorrow to have my fears assuaged!

I think that the rule changes will help this specific Purdue team. This team is not going to be able to pressure the way that some of Painter's past teams have anyway. I think that it will help Purdue considerably that each player will have rights to his vertical space, given Purdue's considerable reach advantage over most opponents. It will be that much harder for slashers to initiate contact against Purdue's bigs and get them in foul trouble.
I also think that it will help Purdue against full court pressure.
In the half court, freedom of movement will allow Purdue to keep the motion offense flowing and the bigs should be allowed to stand their ground without getting mugged.
If I have learned anything as a Purdue fan over the years, its that we are going to lose a game this year because of one of these new rules. My guess is that we will be on the road against an average team that we should beat but we are struggling to put said average team away for good. It will be close to the end of the game, Raphael will draw a charge on an overaggressive drive to the basket that features a high elbow, and Raphael will then be called for flopping on the video review when they originally were checking to see if it was a flagrant elbow by the driving player. The opposing team will get two shots and the ball, quickly drain a three, and Purdue will end up losing.
Look into your hearts, you know it will be true.
