True, but many people are not going to give you a shot if you cannot keep up or you do not have good mechanics. If you have good mechanics and good positioning, you are going to have better judgment by default than if you have do not have good mechanics or positioning.

I will never suggest that rules are not important, but rules are not what most basketball officials get that deep into. We basically call very basic fouls and basic violations. Those are based on judgments, not hard fast rules.
