What was the Lew Alcindor Rule?

Answer 1

The Lew Alcindor Rule, named after Basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (born Lew Alcindor), was implemented by the NCAA in 1972 to limit the height advantage in College Basketball. Specifically, it prohibited players from dunking the ball during games. The rule was in response to the dominance of Alcindor, who was known for his exceptional height and dunking ability, and it aimed to encourage more diverse offensive strategies in the game. The rule was eventually abolished in 1976.
