1) do not allow BI to be called on a throw in
2) following a technical, go to POI
3) eliminate closely guarded and backcourt counts in shot clock games
4) make all unsportsmanlike technicals also indirects on the head coach
5) make the penalty for reaching across the boundary and hitting the ball on a throw in a team technical instead of an individual technical
6) go to the NBA rule for how many players can be in marked lane spaces on free throws
7) put the coaching boxes in the parking lot

Not rules per se but mechanics:
1) Two man positioning of the officials during 60 second timeout. Right now from the blocks if we crane our necks, we can still barely see the timer signaling to us or the players checking in. Maybe NFHS organization can pick a spot for us beyond the end line?
2) Non-calling official player disqualification notification procedure. Tweet, foul, report, "Oh, that's 5 fouls on #12? Hang on, I will go get my partner so he can tell the coach who is twelve feet away from me and is already looking at me."
I have only been officiating for a couple years, but these two changes have not done any good. Perhaps NHFS should stop helping so hard.
