I just believe personally that some rules aren't applicable or appropriate for games being played in today's era.
It's much the same as certain laws which I'm sworn to enforce at work. They might have been applicable in 1980 but are still on the books today.
Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I don't enforce it.

I have not been officiating since 1980, but when I was working a summer game several years ago there were kids intent on slamming the ball. One guy hung on the rim and broke the basket. That court could not be used anymore, and that was with maintenance people around and working on fixing the problem. Well that did not work because they did not have the tools or the ability to fix it in a timely manner. Now if this was a real game, the game would have been canceled or postponed. And this was a rather typical high school and I can only image the many schools do not have any maintenance people on site or the resources to fix a broken basket on the spot.
