I created this page and redirected the previous article named "illegal defense" here, because the actual name of the violation in the NBA Rule Book is "Defensive Three-Second Violation" instead of illegal defense. AllPurposeGamer (talk) 15:35, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Help:move, you should always use the "move" tab to move pages, rather than do a copy/paste pagemove. --Rividian (talk) 16:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, use the move function. I've fixed the cut-and-paste move so that the history is now together. However, I think the capitalization may be wrong. Unless this is a proper name, I think it may have to go to Defensive three-second violation. Consult WP:MOS and move as appropriate. Happy editing! Cool Hand Luke 04:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, the NBA has it fully capitalized on the first website provided as a reference, and in their official rules book it is capitalized as well. AllPurposeGamer (talk) 12:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Illegal defense in the '90s?

This page gives two rules in different eras termed "illegal defense" in the NBA: the defensive three-second violation (since 2001), and zone defense (prior to 1983). There was an illegal defense rule in the NBA in the 1990s, though. E.g., the Bulls are called for one in Game 1 of the 1996 Conference Finals against the Magic. What was that rule? --Delirium (talk) 05:33, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
