Shot clock reduced from 30 seconds to 24 seconds, aligning FIBA with the NBA standard. Same revision modified the reset rule: the clock now resets when the ball makes contact with the basket rim (rather than purely on a shot attempt), tightening the offensive-possession definition.

Three-point line distance increased by 50 cm — from 6.25 m to 6.75 m — bringing FIBA closer to (though still shorter than) the NBA arc. Change was announced in 2008 and phased in beginning October 2010. Same revision cycle adopted the restricted-zone "no-charge" arc with a 1.25-meter radius beneath the basket, aligning international rules with the NBA-style charge-circle convention.

Major Official Basketball Rules recodification approved by FIBA on February 2, 2014, effective October 1, 2014. Headline change: shot clock now resets to 14 seconds (instead of a full 24) when the offensive team retains possession via an offensive rebound, accelerating play after rebounds. The change preceded the NBA, which adopted the same 14-second reset rule in 2018.
