My favorites mentioned so far in one form or another:
1) Shot clock to 30.   It's not basketball to stand 5 feet inside half court and just wait 20 seconds before starting the play.
2) I like the "no timeouts while being guarded" concept.  Teams should be rewarded for good defense.
3) The defense should not be allowed inside the lane during the free throw attempt until the shot is released.  I hate the defensive huddles right in front of the shooter or substitutions bumping into the shooter (I'm looking at you, Georgetown).  So cheap.  Technical foul for violations.
4) I like limiting the inbounds passes to the halfcourt line once the team has crossed half court.
5) Make illegal screens a turnover, not a foul.  Then CALL THEM!!!

Don't like:
1)  FIBA inbounds rule.  Uncivilized.  Ref must check the ball.  
2)  FIBA  goaltending rules.  Uncivilized.  Leave the ball alone and let gravity do its thing

Would like to see the results of experimentation with:
1)  A higher rim.
2)  Four on four, instead of five on five.
3)  A really short shot clock, like 20 seconds.  Maybe even 15.
