5 rule changes for the 13-14 season, 3 of which relate to the use of replays.
Can use replays to establish legal position on charge/blocking fouls - They were already allowed to check for inside the circle apparently, but now they will be allowed to check whether the defender moved after the shooter started their jump/shot
Can use replays to award flagrant fouls that were missed. Like the Chris Andersen shove on Hanbrough that was missed in the playoffs
Can use the replay to establish if an off the ball foul happened before or after a shot was made
Clear path fouls will not be called if the defensive player was in front of the offensive player at any time during the possession, not just at the time of the foul
Out of bounds players must immediately come back into play
