Key quotes:
"The worst basketball rule on any level is the NCAA's alternating possession on a held-ball situation. The only reason why this abomination exists is because the refs aren't capable of properly implementing the tosses for jump balls."

"I don't favor the restraining arc under the basket since it makes automatic blocks of too many obvious charging violations. (This is another rule that's become necessary only because of referees' incompetence.)"

"I'd also like to see two more refs assigned to each game, both of them in off-court stationary positions — perhaps in raised chairs as in tennis. Their jobs would be limited to calling three- and eight-second violations, goaltending, and illegal defenses."

I have no opinion with regard to Charlie's third recommendation. But he is on point concerning his first two recommendations.
