Per shams:
“NBA officiating staffs will be trained to identify and properly rule overt non-basketball actions to initiate contact with defender — such as offensive player launches into defender, abruptly veers off path, kicks leg at abnormal angle, or his off-arm hooks defender.
If deemed more than marginal (offensive player's contact impacts the defender's speed, quickness, balance, or rhythm) -- play results in an offensive foul.
A no-call should result -- if the contact is deemed marginal.“
I don’t know if this means more calls or non calls. Should be interesting how this impacts harden, Trae and embiid
