Season headlines * On April 9, 1927, the Joint Basketball Rules Committee announced a sudden change in dribbling rules, eliminating the continuous dribble that had become legal in the 1909–10 season and replacing it with the rule in use from the 1901–02 through 1908–09 seasons, which restricted each dribble to a single bounce. The committee made the change in the belief that elimination of the continuous dribble would make the game less rough and reward greater team play by encouraging more passing.
