It they want scoring to go up, they only have to convince officials to call the fouls that often go uncalled with one excuse or another. They've tried but many officials resist and the game devolves into too much of a physical wrestling match. The game was never designed to require a guard, or even post players, to have enough strength to play through level of contact that they are forced to deal with. The amount of contact that really creates and advantage is far less than what is commonly called. If the fouls are called, the game opens up and scoring increases.
