All flops will now be a class b technical. That includes head bobs where the player exaggerates contact, falling down when shooting or kicking out your leg to sell it and defending in the post. The last will be the most difficult to officiate but the plan is if the offensive player makes contact and stops then the defender falls down they will be given the technical. A class b results in one free throw and then the ball will resume play to the team that had it. They aren't going to stop play immediately if a team is going in for a layup but it will be enforced. If nobody has possession it will go to the arrow. A class b technical results in one free throw and a player will be ejected after three.

Another is contact on ball handlers will be enforced, while a legal screen is now a player once he releases the ball must set or avoid contact.

The final rule adjustment which could get interesting is coaches must stay in the coaches box and assistants must stay sitting down. This comes from the NCAA and if officials don't enforce it they won't be able to work the NCAA Tournament.
