Wowzers

In establishing position in any outnumbering fast break situation, a player may not establish initial legal guarding position under the basket since there is no primary defender.

This may be the single stupidest statement in the history of basketball. If it's a three on two break, you can't have LGP under the basket? A fast-breaking guard can now drop her shoulder, bang into a big who has established position underneath and get two from the line? How can you have a rule that creates the concept of legal guarding position and then say "wait, it doesn't count based on where the players involved in the contact were several steps before contact, because the principle of advantage/disadvantage doesn't apply in our Special Unmarked Area Of Magical Powers?"

But then, I thought (and still think) the three-point shot is as bad an idea as the designated hitter for the pitcher
