Auto-detected content change during sync (commit 8a04cc1)
Recorded May 13, 2026
Shot clock reduced from 30 seconds to 24 seconds, aligning FIBA with the NBA standard. Same revision modified the reset rule: the clock now resets when the ball makes contact with the basket rim (rather than purely on a shot attempt), tightening the offensive-possession definition.
Recorded May 7, 2026
Three-point line distance increased by 50 cm — from 6.25 m to 6.75 m — bringing FIBA closer to (though still shorter than) the NBA arc. Change was announced in 2008 and phased in beginning October 2010. Same revision cycle adopted the restricted-zone "no-charge" arc with a 1.25-meter radius beneath the basket, aligning international rules with the NBA-style charge-circle convention.
Recorded May 7, 2026
Major Official Basketball Rules recodification approved by FIBA on February 2, 2014, effective October 1, 2014. Headline change: shot clock now resets to 14 seconds (instead of a full 24) when the offensive team retains possession via an offensive rebound, accelerating play after rebounds. The change preceded the NBA, which adopted the same 14-second reset rule in 2018.
