The Arizona Republic has an interesting article on the new rules and former skeptics coming around. Perhaps the most surprising convert is Houston's Rudy Tomjanovich. Rudy T. is noted for using the isolation play with Cuttino Mobley and Steve Francis to the nth degree but even he sees some good early signs. Some others are equally optimistic that the three second restriction on defensive players camping in the key will cause better movement and cutting in the middle. Some niggling doubts are still around though. What exactly is "cleansing" (where a camper can re-stock his three seconds by picking up a cutter)? How long does the defensive player have to guard the cutter to be "cleansed"? What does the phrase "actively guarding" mean? Does growling and waiving your hands around count? All these questions and the most important of all -- will the officials be consistent? -- await the start of the real season.
