I watch alot of both NBA and NCAA games. I don't know that Bilas' statement is completely true, but I can see what he means. Twenty years ago, the NBA game was extremely physical. Think back to the late 80s and early 90s when the NBA games were much more physical (Bad Boys Pistons, Knicks etc...) At that time, the NCAA was less physical. The NBA has done a good job of cleaning up alot of the hand checking and the hard type fouls. The NCAA game has become more physical during the same span. I can see how Bilas would make the comment.

I have a life long disdain for just about anything Duke related but IMO Bilas is one of the best analyst out there and I appreciate his take on things even if I don't always agree with it.
In terms of his comment that's the source of this thread I think JRut is spot on in that the NBA is less physical on the perimeter but not so much in the paint. Does that mean that overall the NBA is less physical than NCAA? Not really but I can see where Bilas is coming from when he makes that comment.

In the NBA, the players, especially the guys in the paint are forced to play through far more contact. If NBA officials called some of the fouls you regularly see in NCAA, they wouldn't be in the NBA long.
