5. Change team control rules to include the throw-in.--Yes
6. Add common fouls during a throw-in to the definition of team control foul.--Yes
7. Change definition of team control so that team control ends on a defensive deflection.--Maybe
8. Add a new definition for "offensive fouls".--Why?
9. Eliminate the jump ball to begin overtime.--No
10. Eliminate the resumption of play procedure and add another delay of game warning.--I agree
11. Play halves instead of quarters.--Yes
12. Eliminate coaches' ability to request time-out during live ball.--Yes
13. Allow coaches to request a "Safety Time-Out" when player safety becomes a concern.--No
14. Adopt NCAA rules for FT alignment.--I would not like this unless they add the release as the end of restrictions on FTs
15. Ignore swinging of elbows violation by defense if committed during a successful try.--No problem, but not nessessary.
16. Shot clock by state adoption.--No problem with this
17. Adjust penalty for excessive TO; penalize only if discovered when violated.--Yes
18. Adjust penalty for illegal jerseys; one team technical maximum.--Yes
19. Technical foul for causing the ring to vibrate, regardless of whether the contact on the backboard is intentional or not.--No
20. Shoot the bonus on the second team foul in the last two minutes of the second half, regardless of total team fouls.--No

They'll also consider some signal additions.--Always
