I was a junior in the 73-74 season which was that last season where the fouling player had to raise his hand. The 74-75 season ushered in the 'feel good' era in which the rules committee did not want the offending person to 'feel guilty' by raising his hand. I continued to do so as a player. I detested political correctness even then.
