Nothing short of drastic changes would make the game better. For example:

There were 19 games played yesterday featuring top 25 teams. In these 19 games supposedly featuring college basketball's best teams, there were an average of [B]36.2 fouls called - or one almost every minute of gameplay[/B]. In these 19 games, there was an average of 65 possessions per team. So, an average of 3.6 possessions per foul called (i.e. a stoppage in play and most likely, someone shooting the ball standing behind a line while everyone stands and watches).

I don't know, maybe some people like watching free throws and refs dance around while they call an excessive amount of fouls. I think the main point of focus should be reducing stoppage of play and minimizing the influence of refs (and don't blame Pitt and Louisville for excessive fouls called - it's clearly a strategy by NCAA to extend broadcast time and/or control the results of games by rewarding teams with free points).

Five seconds off the clock, continuation and jump balls are such superficial changes that have little outcome on each game.
