What is fundamental?
Like everything else, b-ball adjusts to the times. We don't have third graders running around the court here, we have a standard move that has been accepted as being ok uner the rules as currently interpreted. So this is now fundamental b-ball.
I read a lot of people that are upset with no calls aon "carries" or "travels." But if the calling (and no-calling) within a game, conference, league, level of play (HS/college) is consistent, then all we are talking about is different perceptions of standards. I don't have trouble watching a game if I tell myself not to worry about the violations that should be called if the game were played like the rulebook. Just worry about it if there are inconsistent standards applied to the game.
