You guys are right, a trapezoid game does not eliminate rough play. More foul calls will help.
In international play, it is accepted that more contact is permitted, which I personally don't like.
The trapezoid has its advantages; easier to box out on free throws, more difficult for a big man to camp down low.
BTW Mark, James Naismith was Canadian, but Canadians aren't Europeans you know.
Basketball, the great canadian game!
