Different sport, but how about rule changes caused by Wilt Chamberlain?
1. The widened the 3-second lanea because Wilt was have too easy a time scoring.
2. The created the Offensive Goaltending rule because Wilt was tipping in too many missed shots.
3. They created a rule that foul shots had to be taken from behind the foul line, because Wilt was practicing taking a running start from mid court, leaping from behind the foul line, and then taking a kind of finger-roll shot.
Do they keep records of "Most Rules Changes Caused"?
