Not all rule changes are bad.
The out of bounds on the full was a good rule change (circa 1968ish)
The centre diamond/square (1972/73)
Dropping the ball when Kevin Bartlett threw it out in front of him (1980)
The vast majority of rule changes have been bad for the game.
You're making my point for me. They are all good changes, the game would be much worse without them. But I'll bet there were any number of people complaining about them when they were made. Now we look back and know the changes were for the good. At the time I there would have been supporters threataning to burn down H. C.A. Harrison's house unless he stopped ruining the game.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
