Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 3901706, member: 1001"] The NBA has been very progressive under Silver so I'm sure there will be rule changes going forward, the question is when will the next round of major rule changes that alter the sport take place. Widening the court has been mentioned for several years now and needs to happen. Make every 3PT shot the same distance. It's a no-brainer but I wouldn't consider it a drastic rule change. Teams will still fire a million threes a night. I would love to see 1-16 seeding; I've wanted it for years as the West has been the dramatically better conference going on 22 seasons now. Analytics haven't done the game any favors from a fan enjoyment perspective but I think the game can be fine if you just allow physical defense again and cut out the BS fouls they award offensive players for egregious contact-seeking fouls. I cannot believe I'm saying this but I'm actually trending back towards enjoying college basketball as a whole more than the NBA. The college game is sloppy and ugly and the talent level is quite low compared to two decades ago and conference realignment screwed the sport real good but at least there's a great variety in strategy, styles of play, etc. You still see teams post up frequently, there's physical defense, far less isolation, etc. [/QUOTE]
