The Rules Committee can make all the changes it wants to the Rules of the Game...NOTHING will happen until the enforcement of the rules by the game officials changes (they HAVE to start calling the game differently).
The game officials won't call it differently until there is uniform accountability across the country (right now each assignor sets the "standard" in their league).
Uniform accountability will NOT occur until there is one person/entity overseeing officiating nationwide. Currently, John Adams, NCAA Coordinator of Men's Basketball Officiating, can only control who/how the NCAA tournament if officiated. When he, or someone else in his position, has control of regular season assignments, THEN the game will be officiated differently.
