New rule for too many men violation (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

NBA owners have approved a rules change regarding violations for too many men on the court, closing a loophole that allowed Portland to score on a 6-on-5 situation earlier this season. If a team is given a technical foul for having too many players, the non-offending team can choose to accept or nullify the action that took place before the whistle blew.
