I love the change about being able to call timeout when you're flying out of bounds. I've always felt that, since you're not out of bounds til you land, you should have the same timeout power you do while standing on the court. It's a hustle play that should be rewarded!

I also like the coach being charged a timeout on a requested out-of-bounds/possession review that doesn't go his way...should tamp down on those casual "let's take a look" play-stoppages down the stretch.

Being a traditionalist, I disapprove of the 0-99 jersey number change. (Some fans may have been oblivious to the fact that, hitherto, only numbers with 0-5 digits were allowed, e.g., #45 but not #46.)

I breathe a sigh of relief each summer that the men's committee does NOT allow teams to advance the ball to midcourt by calling timeout. I hate that NBA [and NCAA women's] garbage with all my being.
