    1944-1945 season: Offensive 3-second violation enacted for College basketball and when the NBA started it followed suit in 1946. Other Pro Leagues started the same time College basketball did.

    2001-2002 season:
    The NBA instituted a set of major rules changes for that season, eliminating all the old illegal defense rules in favor of a defensive 3-second violation, lessening the time allowed to bring the ball upcourt from 10 seconds to 8 seconds and eliminating many of the so-called ticky-tack fouls that were slowing down the game.
