2. Add definition of a "dark" jersey.are they calling it non-white?
3. Adjustments to rules for hair control devices. pre-wrap must match uniform like headbands?
4. Adopting the NCAAW closely guarded rules.don't care
5. Change team control rules to include the throw-in. might eliminate confusion but give throw-in team advantage with FTs for a hold, for example.
6. Add common fouls during a throw-in to the definition of team control foul.see above
7. Change definition of team control so that team control ends on a defensive deflection.a new 10 second count begins?
8. Add a new definition for "offensive fouls". non-issue
9. Eliminate the jump ball to begin overtime.makes sense
10. Eliminate the resumption of play procedure and add another delay of game warning. might help speed up game if they knew a T would be coming next time
11. Play halves instead of quarters.state adoption?
12. Eliminate coaches' ability to request time-out during live ball.definitely
13. Allow coaches to request a "Safety Time-Out" when player safety becomes a concern.this looks like a workaraound to the above. Most officials are pretty aware when someone is hurt.
14. Adopt NCAA rules for FT alignment.There would really need to be an emphasis on calling early entry if hs kids emulate the college action
15. Ignore swinging of elbows violation by defense if committed during a successful try.why?
16. Shot clock by state adoption.expensive item when cost cutting abounds
17. Adjust penalty for excessive TO; penalize only if discovered when violated.no
18. Adjust penalty for illegal jerseys; one team technical maximum.makes sense
19. Technical foul for causing the ring to vibrate, regardless of whether the contact on the backboard is intentional or not.ooo
20. Shoot the bonus on the second team foul in the last two minutes of the second half, regardless of total team fouls.penalizes teams playing within the rules

They'll also consider some signal additions.

see above.....
