2. The no-charge semi circle in the lane is expanded from 3 ft to 4 ft.
3. Teams get one fewer timeout in the 2nd half.
4. An additional personal foul to be experimented with in the post-season.

it's a step in the right direction, especially #3.

The real significant change I saw was that "team timeouts within 30 seconds before media timeouts will become media timeouts, with exception of first team timeout in second half."

yes I saw that too and to that I say wholeheartedly...

A combined two fewer timeouts late in the game and none of the ridiculous back to back timeouts around the media timeouts plus the shorter shot clock will put some life back into the game. Games would sometimes just come to a standstill. It puts the games back more into the players' hands instead of the coaches. I like a good chess match, but not on a basketball court.

I would like to see a 60 second shot clock added to any video review. Ref team has 60 seconds to review then make a decision. Too many times at the end of a game the refs end up taking way too long to confirm a call and drain all of the momentum out of the moment.

I'd like to see an extra foul granted in OT. The star who fouled out with 8 minutes left returns rested from the bench? How cool would that be? And should players have to go an extra five or ten avoiding that fifth foul?

For #4 will that be in conference tournament games, the NCAA Tournament, the NIT Tournament?

end all replay reviews in all sports. kills fan momentum. gives teams free timeouts. calls end up evening out anyway. you can draw a graph showing how the advent of replay and its increased use has paralleled delining attendance in football and basketball.

The length of time is directly tied to viewing the number of angles available. Fewer angles-lead to longer times. Also the refs are building a case to explain a change to cover tail and mollify another set of eyes who saw it differently.

Two options- old school with no replay or get it right and take as long as needed. Which do you want?

This isn't entertainment its competition. If junior or Dad can't defend or scheme to that's what they're accountable for.

If you want entertainment root for a someone who plays matador defense and shoots 3 or just dunks.

The NIT, CBI, CIT. the tourneys no one cares about

The new rules worked well in those tourneys this past year which I think jump started their adoption.

Huh? This makes no sense from so many standpoints. Why do more people watch football than bass fishing? They're both competition. "Junior or Dad"? I want what you're smoking. Finally, the point is if you play longer, ( and are competitor) you have a greater chance of fouling out. Why not keep the odds roughly the same? Now, "junior and Dad" can scheme for that.

Your attempt to analogize explains your inability to make the point.

Football and bass fishing?

Try within football .. you get a do over on a FG attempt or you get to have a pass interference call waived per half ... Say what? What's the point of competing if there isn't any accountability. If junior cant guard someone that is on them. Sit down, shut up and Dad (the HC) can put in one of his other prized recruits.

Don't water it down. Amp it up!

Look, I cant help you as a Toledo fan who is searching for a distraction from the last 3 decades of non-achievement. As a Bronco fan it is maddening to me that we are once a decade pretender. You on the other hand do have all the reasons to change the rules, make it out to be "fantasy" since reality really bites out in Toledo. I feel for you brother.

I feel for anyone who turns a comment about a potential rule change into fuel for his recent chubby over Toledo basketball. Brother.

Nothing about how much air the ball has to have in it?

What happened to the proposal that would not allow coaches to call a timeout when the ball is in play? I was hoping that change would be made.
