These rules could change and still not change the scoring. Players are too one dimensional. You will not have scoring go up if guys cannot make FTs or cannot shoot something other than a dunk or a 3 point shot.

I saw a kid this year in a high school game that consistently shot a mid-range jumper as a guard. He would drive hard to the basket and pull up for a wide open 10 to 15 foot shot. I was so amazed by this kid who was a freshman I even said something to the coaches about teaching that aspect of the game to him. They did not take credit for it and said that he did that mostly on his own, but they did not discourage him.

And coaches have to stop micro managing every game. Let there plays play without every possession having a play called or some kind of set being run. How about let the players make some decisions more than they do now.

Scoring is a lot more than rules changes. If you reduce the shot clock to 30, is not going to make someone be able to take a better shot or make better decisions. They still have to develop players to score more or to diversify their games.
