Is "the patient whistle" and "possession consequence" ruining the game?

[APG]

I think there are officials that take the concept too far...and assume since the shooter made a shot, he was not disadvantaged.

This is part of the problem. But I doubt it's worse now than twenty years ago. And the shooter doesn't have the right to shoot without being contacted. He has the right to shoot without being put at a disadvantage from illegal contact. There's a difference.

Sometimes, a patient whistle is the only way to see if there's an advantage.
