Stern: Hack-A-Shaq, Replays To Be Reviewed

ESPN -
NBA Commissioner David Stern said on Wednesday that the league plans to consider changing its rules on fouls away from the ball and the use of replays for game clock malfunctions, according to ESPN.com's J.A. Adande.

"I think there are two subjects that are going to get some attention by the competition committee. Number 1 is review on clock situations, and number 2 is the whole intentional fouls away from the play, etc. I don't know what the results will be in each one, but I think those are worthy of some considered attention," Stern said at the STAPLES Center before he presented Kobe Bryant with the league's MVP award.

Both issues have moved to the forefront during this year's playoffs.

The Spurs repeatedly used the 'Hack-a-Shaq' strategy during their first round series with the Suns while Chauncey Billups was credited with a three-pointer at the end of the third quarter in Game Two against Orlando that should not have counted. [READ]
