Yes, but it will help to keep it at bay, especially for what you call the slackers. Remember, this is a race. We are trying to stay one step ahead of the people who insist on being idiots. The idiots are trying to find what they can do that is within the rules, which goes to your point about disciplining Johnny. Too often our society doesn't consider anything a problem until someone has either gotten hurt or killed. Then everyone is ready to act. I say nip it in the bud right now before an accident happens.
As far as the problem being solved entirely. That is not the job or responsibility of basketball. We are only concerned about what takes place at our games. What you do or say once the game is over and you are off the school grounds becomes the problem of the state.
