As I expected, things got more physical during FT's this year.

I have not seen anything much more physical than I saw during any other rebounding action. And most defenders only go up to the shooter, I have not seen much pushing or bumping. Yes it has come close to happening, but I hope there is no change in the rule. We just should call the foul.
And I think what Bob said about a mechanics change is a good idea as the C is often trying to watch the flight of the ball.
