I understand exactly what Jim's saying. But he's the one who first mentioned calling every touch of the hand a foul (whether he advocates it or not). My only point is that I don't think the players
can adjust to a no-touch policy. You can't
help touching an opponent in many basketball situations. If we called fouls in all of those situations, everybody would foul out. It wouldn't be basketball anymore, and nobody would want to play it.
