For what its worth and its probably not even 2 cents:
- The natural progression is: IF you are going to clean up freedom of movement for the offense (check), then ensure the offense that is now not impeded moves legally. I would say an increased attention to screening, or blur screens or even footwork on the take off.
- The running of clock is just sad I think if they eventually reduce the shot clock to FIBA/NBA levels you will see that disappear even more.
- RA seems to cause more problems for officials then it solves. Teams aren't stopping trying to take the spot under the rim/driver/shooter, they just try to get higher and if they don't too bad they are still going to allow a train wreck. I don't see many games of importance where on the way to the hoop the defender goes I'm not going to get there I better get out of the way.
