Always the cynic.
Chuck,
I guess I'm just trying to respond to what I percieve is a
lack of willingness to accept different philsophies,
(Or at least the existence thereof)as effective ways of refereeing a ball game.
You're correct when you say the NBA has had to clamp down.
The basketball in the 70's and 80's with the Bad Boy Pistons,
hard fouls etc. was, I'm sure a concern.
I'm talking about my own experience however when I say I feel that they have done more to try and curb excessive physical play than any other level.
Most people who post on this site are intelligent and all have valid points. I enjoy that. Even if they are different than mine. As long as we don't get personal, we all can learn from each other.
Peace.
P.S. Brad, if you happen to check this thread out,
see if you can get Jimmie to give us his input on this particular scenario. What is he taught at his level?
Thanks
