The referenced article spent the entire time complaining about the defense knocking away shots that were rolling around the rim with the conclusion that it would reduce shooting percentages without even mentioning the fact that the offence could also contact the ball and "finish" the shot. Seems to me that the overall effect would be neutral while being far easier to call.
