I think these changes helps us. It should allow us to have more of an up and down rhythm based game. And the fewer timeouts will help the lets play our starters 36 minutes a game in the Tourney because they won't get as many rest breaks.

Shorter shot clock definitely helps us. Less time we have to pretend to play defense and teams won't be able to pass the ball around up top to eat time off the clock as much. I am fine with fewer timeouts.

One of the other changes is

"eliminating the five-second rule when a player is dribbling"

Is this the 5 second rule when someone is guarding you? What impact do you think this will have?

Improved officiating because their don't need to do a silly count.
