30 second shot clock makes too much sense. Hasn't college hoops been watered down and slowed down enough? Pick up the pace a bit.

I'd eliminate all charges and blocks, while also giving kids a 6th foul to work with. Shot blockers would become even more important and kids wouldn't be rewarded for basically getting in the way. I know this will never happen, but it would probably open up the game more.

As for the backcourt 10 seconds, why not reset it to 5 seconds if a team calls a timeout or the ball is tapped out of bounds? If a team plays good defense for 9 seconds, but then the opponent calls a timeout, it shouldn't be reset to 10 seconds to get the ball over. While I don't think a team should have to get the ball over before 25 left on the shot clock (especially if they were forced to waste a timeout), no matter what, getting rid of the extra 10 seconds could help. Give them only 5 to get it over after a timeout or out of bounds in the back court, just like to get it in bounds.

And continue trying to get rid of hand checking and the clutch and grab defense. Despite an emphasis on this before, we still saw WAAAAAAAY too much unnecessary contact on ball handlers.
