Hello math.
I hate it and I'm not very good at it

If you move two teams to the East and add two to the West, you end up with 17 in the East and 15 in the West.
I'm with most people about wanting a bit more defensive oriented officiating, but it's tricky to actually legislate. One thing I would constantly make a point about though is moving screens. Eliminate moving screens and you have a lot less overpowered pick and rolls and a lot of what people want to do by re-allowing hand checking would take care of itself without adding lots more grabbing. That one would be pretty straightforward.
The hard one is where the offensive player creates contact then goes flying, drawing a whistle. Guards driving seem to get a huge amount of leeway when they drive into big men, but some front court players like Embiid are masters too. They're skilled at drawing these fouls, so it's hard to differentiate real fouls from less so. Still, I believe the league could do it. Was it two years that they started out swallowing the whistle for the first two months before going back to normal? That seemed pretty ideal levels of physicality vs. offensive flow to me and you did see the exact players you'd expect have scoring drops vs. the players aiming to make shots.
Damn it you're right. In that case get rid of conferences.
