Allow the defense to play ANY kind of defense they choose. To keep the middle from becoming too congested, the 3-seconds-in-the-lane rule could then apply to both offensive and defensive players. (Maybe widen the lane also.) This would put more weight on the referees, but are there any other reasons this couldn't be done?

It's the only real sport left of the big 3. If you want a REAL challenge, try naming the Seattle Mariners starting lineup (:-). Fans from Seattle are not eligible for this one.
