The next rule interpretation that needs to change is that when the ball handler clearly deviates from his normal route to the basket in order to initiate contact, play should continue.
The reason Trae Young threw the ball at an official in the Pacers game is that he kicked his legs out on a three attempt and made the shot... but the ref rightfully called an offensive foul.
So the NBA rewards such behavior and penalizes the next team they play. Good to know.
