Gee - I'm only 30 (but been playing since 8 and refereeing since 11) and I can think of heaps! BTW these are all FIBA examples:
- 10 seconds to cross halfway line (now 8)
- shoot 1 and 1 for penalty (now 2 free throws)
- penalty for tech & unsportsmanlike fouls was 1 shot and possesion (now 2 and possession)
- jump balls for held ball, OOB of both players, double fouls (now AP, which I HATE!!!!)
- able to start game with 4 players (now must be 5 on court)
- foul on jump shot (shooting motion used to end with release of ball, now ends when player lands)
- OOB on endline used to inbound from side (now where it went out)
- 2 free throws, use to have the option to take ball from halfway line (now have to shoot them)
- lineup on free throws, use to have 3 on each side (4x defenders, 2x offense, 1x shhoter), now 1 less defense
Could probably think of a few more. Plus there have been HEAPS of mechanics changes.
