Simbio, I think you should take some of your ideas and make up a new sport. Keeping the sports unique makes athletes specialize and gives opportunities for others who wouldn't otherwise be involved. All football players can't shoot a jumper but they can block good enough to go pro. Look at the size of linemen. These are athletes that are out of shape.
As far as changing basketball, I think the rules committee does a pretty good job of making the rules make sense. There aren't a whole lot of obscure rules like you can't jump using a teamate to block a field goal or forward throwing motion. None that I can think of at least.
