I agree all of these sound like an NBA fan who wants to see the changes but...that's why college basketball is college basketball and the NBA is the NBA. They should have a different set of rules in some areas.
I'm in the media and here's something someone pointed out to me years ago: there's a reason why when we put a courtesy on the screen for old NBA footage we use "NBA Entertainment."
As for the rules "suggestions" I can't see a reason for most, if not all, of them (reducing the time on DQ subs...to what, five seconds?). Unlike Mark Sr. I'd like to keep the AP arrow since I always get beat up on jump balls
