The modern NBA is a far superior product to what modern college basketball has become. Skill level has dropped in college but only improved in the NBA. Big Ten basketball is sadly one of the worst.
What one basketball rule would you like to be removed....

The Celtics 3 and D is no more appealing to me than the isolation stuff.
It is not what I want when I watch basketball but I know that RMK isn't walking through that door again, sadly.
I'd rather the coach call the timeouts if we had to choose. Its part of why they are the coach.
I’m a simple man. I would like to see a rule change allowing use of a multi-colored ball. If not a red, white, blue one in copy of ABA days, then some other agreed upon color scheme of high contrast. It was so much easier to see the ball with its spin rotation. Many times it made the ball appear to float. I don’t know why the NBA has to be so stubborn about it.
Flops. Anyone flopping should be given a technical foul. If they do it a second time they are ejected. I’d argue that one flop and you are ejected. It’s become a disgrace to the game and promotes cheating / acting.
But it's not. Just 2 lateral steps versus 2 forward steps. Am I missing something?
Everyone is taught to "sell" a charge. You have to take a hit and fall. I don't like flopping either but in terms of determining the call, it's not always easy without replay, which can be a delay.
Get to your spot and hold your ground. It’s an easy call that has been made difficult by wussies flopping. Eject them!
In the NBA, they are able to review certain calls. For instance, when a ball seems to go out of bounds and they cant tell who it went off of, they review it. They had a situation this past year where they called it off a certain player, but reviewed it, and found that it went out of bounds on a player because he was fouled. Current rules stipulate that they can’t call a foul upon review, so they had to award the ball to the fouling team. That rule has to change or be modified.
LBJ wouldn't be the NBA's all time leading scorer without it.
I'm with you 💯...Let me push you back 6 inches so I can get my shot off..
Needs cleaned up at every level..jmo
There is already a different rule governing what you described that does not depend on the cute little useless arc under the basket. Look it up.
Very good idea regarding the "foulest". I hope this doesn't sound incongruent with your idea, but the overall tenor of the game the last 20 years where good D is penalized all in the name of more scoring. Rules are such that it is lopsided in favor of the offense and solid defense seems not to exist
Didn't even know Lyndon played.
The hand push off in order to gain space for a shot. It's a blatant offensive foul. Maybe more consistent calls on illegal picks.
what exactly, are you looking for?
"interference occurs under certain conditions when a player touches the ball, basket, rim, or backboard in a motion that "the ball has been prevented from entering the basket or has been caused to enter the basket."
the rule I'd like to see reverted is:
Wherein a Hoosier hearth game has textured its final tick of the clock, herein be it official decree, that thy final brass bombastic fait be forever deeded: "Birdland"
Those of ye old enough to remember walking out satisfied to that wonderful jazz number

eliminate all reviews, the call on the floor stands. While I don't necessarily agree with this and I know it will never happen, it just frustrates me how long it takes at the end of close games nowdays. and they still don't get em all correct anyway.
Do not mind the reviews, but put a 30-45 second time limit on it and go from there. The other thing with them is do not let the players go to the benches make them stay on the floor--do not give them an extra time out where coaches decide everything, if there is a break, make the players on the floor figure it out
