Bron got another good one right before halftime too 
 
Has there ever been a time where a rule change of this calibur was made mid season? I can not recall. This will be a huge deal down the road, and puts the players coaches, and refs in an awkward position. Soon we will see articles about how this drastically shifts the dynamic of the Pacers Heat series and the like. This could have waited until post season IMO.

Even though it was probably always intended to be a rule where you have to jump straight up in order to be considered vertical, the fact that they will be looking out specifically for this will cause issues.

It's not a rule change. The "verticality" rule has been in place, they just wanted to remind refs what it is. Sort of a mid-season (or late-season) point of emphasis. It'll have little to no effect on Hibbert though. People are making way too big a deal of this.
