One new rule that will probably cause some problems this year is the adoption of putting 14 seconds on the shot clock on non-shooting fouls similar to the NBA rule. I can see the "teenage" shot clock operators resetting to 24 as soon as a foul is called. That will take some time to adjust.
Part of my pre-game with the table is to tell the shot clock operator to wait until the refs have a chance to see what's left on the shot clock before they reset it. A good rule of thumb is 3 seconds or more.

They understand after I've explained that if I was being evaluated, I must answer correctly if the evaluator asks me how many seconds remained on the shot clock after each game clock stoppage.
