Kolek planning to go pro
Then we should stop complaining about the lack of defense and the lack of ability to keep anyone out of the paint. You can't defend with the new rules. Any contact, even if it's 100% initiated by a ball handler, is whistled. Can't play defense.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
They are calling the game the way it use to be played. This physical, lots of contact started with Bobby Knight back in the early 70s.
Yup, and in the long run it will be good for the game. The fouls will lessen over time as the players get used to the new rules.
5 fouls is plenty.What the NCAA needs to do is nothing... Meaning, stop changing rules or points of emphasis every year.
I can live with a lot of bad officiating if it's consistently and fairly bad.
Are you nuts? A foul every 50 seconds and you want more? They are destroying the game.
I agree. The rule changes are stupid. But if they are going to make these the new rules, then also adapt to the fact that more fouls will be called and give players a chance to actually stay on the court for a majority of the game. Seeing which team can weather foul trouble is not fun for either team.
I have felt for a long time that they should go to four fouls and change offensive fouls to turnovers and not fouls. In that situation Fischer would not of fouled out last night. He had two offensive fouls and three defensive fouls.
I think I could get behind that, especially if it deters people from flopping.However, I think you would see less defensive emphasis on taking a charge.
