Ahhh, not so fast. These young, high energy, individuals are still humans, factor in the huge amount of money on the table, and sometimes emotions and character run a little out of control. Following the rules is not a problem, respecting the rules and the authority figures around it is a different story.

Again, that's likely how NBA officials are told to call the game, I just don't like it. My preference. I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to the game.
I feel you on this, I like the college men's game the best.
