I am a Pistons fan and they used to allow hand checking and putting hands on a dribbler on the perimeter. I remember one of the reasons defense for them was so tough is they would allow defenders to put their hands all over the ball handlers in an effort to just shut a team down defensively. You do that stuff now that my Pistons used to do, they would suspend you for half the season. It was not unusual that teams would score in the 80s and win championships.

Peace
