As reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic, the NBA Board of Governors is considering making a change to the transition take foul rule. The new rule would award the offensive team with one free throw and retaining possession.

The board of governors will vote on the matter in July but during the meeting that they had in Chicago there was widespread support for this change, Charania added in his report.

Over the past few months, in fact, the NBA, the NBPA, and the Competition Committee had already discussed the matter to propose a change to the current rule.

The type of foul occurs when a player on defense attempts to stop a fast break by intentionally making contact with the offensive player in order to stop their momentum down court to the basket.
