Ok, so far, here are the serious suggestions: (I'm leaving out mechanics suggestions for the moment.)

1) Add "slapping the backboard" to the definition of BI.
2) Add an official warning for a coach violating the coaching box rules.
3) Expand definition of team control to include holding the ball OOB for a throw-in.
4) 2 FTs for any common foul beginning with the team's 7th foul of the half.
5) TO shall not be granted to a head coach unless the ball is dead and the clock is stopped.
6) Violation for the inbounder delaying his return to the court.
7) Change penalty for Substitute Technicals to include indirect on head coach.
8) Add "gray shirt" to approved uniform for officials.
9) Eliminate the jump ball (I can't tell if Billy was serious about that one).
10) Eliminate or reduce the 10-second count during FTs.
11) Re-word 9-9-1.
12) Revise the kicking definition to include "contact" instead of "striking".
13) Revise the definition of BI to exclude contact with the net and include pulling on the net, causing the rim to move.
14) Revise sweatband requirements.
15) Prohibit substitutions after the final FT of a multiple throw.
16) Change the blarge procedure to eliminate the double foul penalty.

So far, only #11 #12, #13, and #14 have been written in a way that meets the FED's requirements. Anybody want to write up any of the other ones? Any other suggestions?
