Yep, learn to play defense and move your feet. "Don't give me no lines and keep your hands to yourself."

"Self is worried about how best to defend a ball screen because the only way to go over the screen is to "jam the dribbler, which now would be a foul"

Here's a novel idea: How about players moving their feet on defense?

Because I'm feeling nostalgic take a look at any part of these two clips. I know the game was different in the '80s and '90s - especially with more zone defense - but these games involve four of the most aggressive teams in those decades and they managed to play without putting their hands all over their opponents. When they used their hands the wrong way, the whistle blew.

Um, is this a new rule, or just a newly emphasized enforcement? Seems to me, jamming the dribbler was always a foul, by rule, even if it wasn't called consistently.

Translation: I hate the way other teams are getting away with muggings and it must stop. But now it's affecting my team who is just playing good hard defense.

All of the coaches want the hand checking called a foul.....on the OTHER team!
