Not really. What's interesting is the amount fouls bring called in scrimmages and exhibitions and coaches are complaining. They make the rules

That's the other part of the equation. I can only speak for the NCAAW side but I believe there was one, maybe two, officials involved in the rules summit in the spring. Everyone else was a coach, AD or some other administrator. We don't make the rules, we just enforce 'em.

No real need to disagree with me BNR, people do find different things more interesting than others :)

Totally agree. Plus they could switch on picks.

Wow, there is zero contact in those videos. And the benches are really far off the court.

Teams knew this was coming. They'll adjust in a few games once they realize and then it won't be an issue anymore. Or at least they should adjust if they're smart.

Also it must be noted that in those old videos, ball handlers are not forcing their way to the basket either. Not only did the defense change, the offensive style changed too. Defenders are not right next to the ball handler and the ball handlers are not trying to go to the basket and are shooting more jumpers as well. Different game played all together.
