But when you listen to people that watch the NBA, they consider it a wrestling match. And I certainly do not see it as any less physical than NCAA basketball.
Mike Greenberg has the last few weeks went on and on about how the game had too many whistles and said that had to change. Now they get a game with fewer whistles and everyone is complaining. And he has been one of the biggest
Jemelle Hill was a huge advocate for changing the block-charge play with an airborne shooter. The very next year the NCAA change the rule and had to change back the following year because of the mess that rule (advocated by many media members on ESPN and CBS) changed back to the rule.
Now we have these critics trying to change the game again, thinking that things like opening the lane or moving the 3 point line or calling more fouls or shortening the shot clock are all going to help the game. The main point I am making, is we have been down this road before. Let us not fall for the okey doke again.
Peace
