1) what about the shot clock not being reset after a kicked ball if it's over 15 seconds and if it is under 15 seconds you only reset back to 15.... good thing or bad thing, what is the reasoning they had for this change???

2) 20 seconds to replace a disqualified player instead of 30 with a horn at 5 seconds left? is 20 enough time, what was the reasoning for this change?

3)point of emphasis is palming the ball?? isn't it every year and it's still not called

4)experimental rule, do we like the 3 point line moved back to 20' 9", little more challenging for the college kids.

1) I think the reasoning was they felt the penalty of awarding a full reset of the shot clock was too harsh for the action involved. This would especially come into play at the end of the game.

2) I would think 20 sec. is still ample time. They were just trying to take away the extra time out teams were getting, instead of using that time to put in the sub.

3) That's why it's still a POE - because it's still not getting called.

4) At least in the upper levels, it might be a good idea to make the 3-pointer a little more challenging.
