1) No jump to start game - home gets ball to start 1st and 4th, visitors to start 2nd and 3rd. Jump for OT.
2) No one-and-one - on seventh team foul of half, two shots, on tenth team foul, three to make two.
3) No automatic possession on a T. Use POI.
4) Only players on the floor can request a TO. No particular reason except it would piss off the coaches, which is cool.
5) Allow players on the FT lane to go in on the release. The game should be for manly men (and women).
6) No five second closely guarded if player is dribbling. Have the rule only on holding the ball.
7) Eliminate five second closedly guarded and ten second backcourt violation in all games with a shot clock. Eliminate redundancy.
8) End the nonsense of allowing more than one player OOB after a made or awarded score. I've yet to hear a logical reason to allow it.
9) Allow players to play with nipple rings, if they're taped.

Hmmm...
1) Dumb idea. Jump's a great, dramatic way to begin the contest. I suppose you'd eliminate the opening kickoff from football too, eh?
2) No 1-and-1 - give offended team chance for minimum of two free throws....sounds a lot like FIBA
5) I didn't know players on the lane had to wait for rim contact in NFHS...you learn something new every day!
6) No five second count on dribble - a rule modifiation that Canada's been using for years!
9) Something tells me you'd only want this rule so it would be necessary to check. And that you would restrict yourself to working womens' games - in Florida and California. Or Sweden
