Basketball is a contact sport, players know that and adjust.

You're right, bb is a contact sport, but it is not a collision sport.
As to the game being a layup drill, this is what I call overreaction to losing something you value so dearly. You will never take the jump shot out of basketball, never! You also still have the ability to play defense, did we forget about that little detail while we where overreacting. One of the greatest basketball players of all-time, Bill Russell made his name by blocking shots. Do you think it will be a layup drill with players like Bill Russell on the court? Who would you rather see in the Hall of Fame, great players like Bill Russell for what he bought to the game, or marginal players like Shane Batia for his ability to step in front of someone and draw a charge?
Since you don't care about the players safety, perhaps you should go officiate chess matches. You would serve both games better because you aree useless to basketball. I will need to go back and retype what i wrote for your other dumb remarks. I hit the wrong bottom and everything was deleted. So this will be somewhat out of order.
