Here are the things that bother me, maybe no one else is bothered by them, but here goes:

Grabbing, pushing, moving into the path of players moving without the ball needs to be called a foul.  Watching Cooney this year, and other players in the past get held, shoved and kneed while trying to get open was ridiculous.  Fouls should be called when these things happen.

I also don't like that teams can simply throw the ball in 3/4 of the way down the court into the backcourt when inbounding underneath the basket.  This should be considered a backcourt violation.

Illegal screens, if it is not going to be called when players move with the defender when setting a screen then get rid of the rule.  For years Pitt would have one of their big guys simply jog down the court in front of their point guard like a lead blocker.  How is that not illegal?  Now teams will set screens on our top two defenders of the zone and move into and shove them when they try to avoid the screen.  How is that not illegal?

I guess with the exception of my second complaint these aren't really changes, just simply enforcing rules that have been around for many years.  These are some of the things that make non-SU (and even some SU) games just about unwatchable for me.
