If by "problem" you mena general overinflation of the basketball, I agree -- but I don't think it's worse this year than any other year. I'd say 80% of the basketballs I test as R need to have air taken ouit -- both boys and girls basketballs. I've carried a needle for years.

Only one ball that I've tested was too low.

I don't think it's so much worse this year as it has been trending worse for years as a function of two things: cheap electrical pumps (every AD has one) and increasing lack of attention to detail (let the kid pump up the balls).
