Thumbs up for Tony. I agree. Good defensive play makes the game exciting. If defender has legal position, offense should not be rewarded with a no call. Doesn't matter if he's under the basket, at mid-court, or 3-ft off the floor. If the defense is there legally first, then he gets the call. Rule book states "the offense should not be afforded additional protection in judging who is responsible for the contact."
