There are already delegate penalties and bonuses based on the date of the primary. So rather than ban caucuses and closed primaries, the party can alter the delegate allocation for the type of vote.
Caucuses are the least voter-friendly by the nature of their hours of operation so they would get proportionally the least delegates. Closed primaries involve fewer voters than open primaries, so closed primaries would get proportionally less delegates than open primaries. That still leaves the choice up to the state, but with delegate penalties as fewer voters are likely to participate.
