Fans and coaches don't realize that the aggressive team gets more fouls called on them but they get more steals and scores, so it is a trade-off. Unfortunately, for some teams, they are so inept in their aggressiveness that they get more fouls than steals and thus, lose in the trade. I once told a coach who complained about the number of fouls not called on his opponent, "You have to get close enough to someone to have a foul called. Your guys are just too quick to be fouled."
