NBA Charge Foul rules

[Jimgolf]

I'm not going to argue the technical merits of the writer's suggestion. Personally, my judgment isn't good enough to determine whether a collision is a block or a charge in real time at the NBA level. I have trouble even watching in slow motion sometimes.

The point is that the NBA is unwatchable for many former fans. Many posters on this board have stated proudly that they haven't watched a game in years. More than at any other level basketball, the NBA game is about what's good for the fans, not for the players or the officials or the coaches. Personally, I like the game the way it is, except that the Knicks always lose.

Officials have a unique perspective, in that they watch more basketball than almost anyone else, and they understand how the various rule changes can affect the play. If there is a way to improve the NBA game so that you'll watch it, I'd like to hear it.
