The rule changes are in two documents:

 Official Basketball Rules 2014

 FIBA Official Basketball Rules 2014 - Official Interpretations

Summary of Main Changes

 

A short summary of the rule changes in the 2014 FIBA Official Basketball Rules are:

 

 The No-charge semi-circle line is now part of the no-charge semi-circle area. The significance of this is that the defender must have both feet outside the line (and not touching the line) to be able to take a charge.

 

 Each team is only allowed a maximum of (2) time-outs in the last 2 minutes of the final quarter. This does not apply in an overtime period because each team has only 1 timeout in each overtime period.

 

 Following an offensive rebound after a shot for a field goal or free throw, the shot clock shall be re-set to fourteen (14) seconds.

 

 The penalty for a Technical Foul (on a player, coach or the bench) has been reduced to one (1) free throw followed by possession from half way.

 

 A player is disqualified when charged with two (2) technical fouls, even if they have less than 5 personal fouls.

 

 There are some new/changed signals for the Officials to use.

 The use of the IRS (Instant Replay System) is for the NBL League only.
