Yep good suggestions here in general.

I think personally, they could make a very simple change to the play-by-play by simply adding another set of commentary for each line.
"puts up a jumper from the baseline" - could also have "pulls up on his defender for a baseline Jump Shot"

"ends the possession with a defensive rebound" could also have "hunts down the defensive board"

etc etc

Just basically doubling th enumber of commentary would make it a little bit nicer and probably wouldn't take a lot of effort.

Just listen to an NBA game for some commentary idea's really!

1. I didn't know the tactics ever change.
2. This would be very cool. I often wonder how the ball moved around on the offensive end to get to the player who takes the shot. So many times there's a player with a very minimal stat line, but who knows, he could have started the whole offensive set.
3. Yes. This would also be good. Like when someone is open, they could say, "Player A caught Player B sleeping, takes a wide open mid-range jumper."
4. This would be awesome, but as you say, would be quite difficult to implement.

1. Isn't it the coach adjust during the game?

You do bring up a good question.
What impact, if any, does a timeout have on a game?
If anything, I've seen team's come back from a timeout with a little bit more poise, taking a shot that makes more sense for their team rather than lofting up a distant 3 as the shot clock expires.
I don't think that it involves a tactic change, though, but perhaps when a team calls timeout, a small nuance of gameplay is shifted. Something like everyone's experience level goes up a couple points for the next 2 or 3 plays so they make better decisions.
