They have imposed more rule changes, and significant rule changes, than in any season I can recall in recent memory, and they are going to be doing so in the same season in which there is a pretty major shift in terms of personnel among the officiating staff. But more on that later.

One of the changes that the officials in particular are not concerned about when it comes to doing their job is actually one of the biggest, that being the modifications to the catch rule, at least to hear one of the veteran officials tell it.
