I personally think it makes for a better game, but you'll have the other side point out that the offensive player should just pull up and shoot a pull up. Personally, I like the defense either getting further out to take the charge, or jump and attempt to block the shot...and the RA forces defenders to do that instead of just running to a spot near the basket.
Tl;dr version: We basically agree with each other.
