CBS SPORTS' CLARK KELLOGG'S HOLIDAY BASKETBALL WISH LIST

A minimum of two years in college for those who come: While I do believe that there is some benefit to a year of college over none, two-or-more years would be better. For the athlete it would increase the opportunity for growth as a student, person, and player. For the program, there would be a little more experience and stability....The flip-side of this is that those desiring to jump from high school to the NBA would be allowed to do so. Not ideal, but not the end of the college game either, as we saw from the mid-'90s until 2006, when the rule requiring a player to be 19 and one year removed from high school to be NBA Draft eligible was instituted....As it is now, the "one-and-done" athlete has an obligation to himself and to his school to be a student while in college, and the university has an obligation to develop and serve him as such, even if it is just a year.

Less flopping: Taking charges is part of the game. There's an art and sacrifice to it that's admirable, even game-altering on occasion. It's an important and valuable skill, although I don't recall ever taking one during my ancient playing days. LOL... However, "selling" the charge has gone too far, especially by big guys. Selling a charge is when a defensive player in good, legal guarding position exaggerates how hard he has been bumped by the offensive player in an effort to earn the call. When a legal charge is taken it should be called, but anyone flopping (especially big guys) should be ignored. Man up and stand up, big fellas!
