- One rule that comes to my mind is the so-called "Lew Alcindor Rule,"
- which bans dunking the ball. This rule came into effect during the
- Lew Alcindor years, and, of course, this rule has something to do with
- UCLA's advantage in having a 7'+ center in Lew Alcindor.
-
- Needless to say, this rule hurt college basketball more than it helped.
- This rule was abolished in late 1970's or early 1980's.
