Yea sideline too... I mean stepping out of bounds on the sideline is so stupid when youre stepping back to plant and go to the hoop. Shit isnt easy when you have size 17 sneakers

EHH i dont mind this. Normal shooting motion could be a hard judgement call. I would just say if you jump into the defender once you get him in the air, no foul on either party - play on unless its egrigious.

Dont mind this at all. Coaches still only use it 35-40% of the time if that. It adds a level of strategy --like i said not a huge deal cause a lot of coaches dont use it.
For me these arent realistic but id love
1 and 1 Fts til you hit a double bonus. I hate automatic 2 fts on shooting penalty.
If you slide under a player who is already in the air it should be a block not a player control foul.
Once a guy launches he cant really change his flight pattern, if you slide under him thats on you. Should be a defensive foul.
