I like the "Away-From-The-Play-Foul" rule.

If you actually compare the NBA/WNBA Traveling Rule with the NFHS/NCAA Men's-Women's/FIBA Traveling Rule you will find that while the wording is somewhat different in parts, the rule is the same except for the being the first to touch the ball after attempting a FG that fails to touch the rim, the backboard, or another player, and the FIBA rule with regard to falling to the floor while holding the ball or getting up from being on the floor while holding the ball is different from the other codes.
