And the Indians used to play lacrosse across country.

I think at this point in time, with the sport more mainstream and entrenched than basketball was back in the 30s, no one wants to completely change the sport.

Now a shot clock, I could understand that. And no 30 second penalty - make them minimum 1 minute.
