Generally, they're making it tougher on defense.

From #2:

when a guy with the ball is in the post, he can "shape up" by bending his elbows. He cannot use his arms to prevent a defender from getting around him, though. If that happens, it's now an automatic foul.

#5 makes me wonder if a trap will be part of the game any more.

How did this affect team like Louisville? Assuming they don't have the ban hammer dropped on them...

A trap is still fine, what's not is using your lower to displace the ball handler. This has been needed to be cleaned up for years.

Get used to double fouls, there are going to be a ton of them.

You mean like what happened to Wes near the end of regulation of the Texas A&M game?

Any punishment that comes down won't happen until after the season is over.
