-obviously the whole traveling issue. I have no idea how
the concept of 2.5 to up to 5.5 steps was allowed to develop. Obviously it is so far out of control most refs either have no idea what the rule is or are powerless to stop it. I doubt it can be reigned in and even if todays basketball players could play the game at all if it was called correctly, but I still hate it.

-coaches walking all over the floor while the game is in progress. This is easy to correct. T them up every time they do it- it ends the situation.

-players doing chin ups on the rim. Few years back they
half azzed said they were going to stop it, but they didn't.

- players with different color shoes on the same team. Kinda the opposite of ....uniform.

-alternate possessions. Terrible rule. Was when it was initiated (and how long ago was that- 45 ish years or so?) and terrible now.

anywho yes I am a senior citizen at this point, but I haven't changed my thoughts on those subjects...ever.
