Apparently, the refs in the NBA call a lot of hand-checking fouls too, which limits what the defense can do.

I do not like any limitations on what the defense can do, that is not natural and that deforms the game, and makes it artificial and waters it down and makes it less entertaining and less organic.

Let the defense do anything that they want, and force the offense to be creative and come up with alternative tactics to defeat the defense.





How many of these rules are still in effect now?:

Most of the answers here deal with just the 3 second rule. It is a lot more than that and here is the complete illegal defense rules:
• Zone defense rules clarified with new rules for Illegal Defensive Alignments.
a. Weak side defenders may come in the pro lane (16’), but not in the college lane (12’) for more than three seconds.
b. Defender on post player is allowed in defensive three-second area (A post player is any player adjacent to paint area).
c. Player without ball may not be double-teamed from weak side.
d. Offensive player above foul line and inside circle must be played by defender inside dotted line.
e. If offensive player is above the top of the circle, defender must come to a position above foul line.
f. Defender on cutter must follow the cutter, switch, or double-team the ball.
• After the first illegal defense violation, the clock is reset to 24 seconds. All subsequent violations result in one free throw and possession of the ball. If any violation occurs during the last 24 seconds of each quarter or overtime period, the offended team receives one free throw.

As you can see they are a lot more restrictive than just the 3 second rule. Fortunately most of the above rules have been abolished in today's NBA leaving us with just the 3 second rule (which is probably why people think illegal defense involves just this one rule)
