Re: Bad fundamentals...

What transpires in the whole situation is a drive to make basketball more popular, more interesting, more entertaining.
If you asked your parents or people from that generation about who is a good singer today, most would say that there are very few around. That's because singing evolved, and become more than just what you can do with your voice box.
Basketball is going down the same track, with less attention being paid to "pure" skills, and more emphasis on what "looks" attractive.
As referees, our drive towards a faster game is all about making the game more exciting to those watching.
I am affraid that the whole issue is not about who is at fault, but how do we cope with the demands of the new game? How do we find balance between skilled play and showmanship?
