Rule Changes

I like that that the article mention's Keady's towel drill, maybe we will be more ready for this rule change than other teams. I can't find the box scores for the exhibition games, how many fouls did we commit in each game?

I was worried about how we would fare but shockingly I think we handled the rule changes well and didn't commit many stupid fouls. And our FT shooting seems improved which will help with more fouls being called.
 
I like Bilas a lot, as well. I agree with most of his article, but he makes the NBA out to be the standard by which college basketball should aspire to. I find the NBA generally unwatchable. His comment that dismisses the CBB view that they take more pride in defense is hard to accept. Other than deep in a playoff series or generally in the conference finals and Finals, the NBA does not play defense, so I'm not sure what he's getting at there.

I like Bilas also, but find many NBA games have way too many timeouts also and that good defense thing is a myth. And I just love :sick: the constant isolation plays.

There are a couple of things that stand out as problems for me. The 4 quarters and all the TO's in the NBA make the end of their games drag out forever. I'm fine with staying with two halves. And, as for his "no-brainier" at the end...is he kidding? I still don't know how the NBA justifies giving a team progress up the court by doing nothing and calls that better for the game. It is not IMO. At least in football you have a choice to take a knee on the kickoff or to return the ball, or the kicking team can force you to return the ball with a shorter kickoff. In any event, you have to earn your progress on the field. On the other hand, in the NBA it's a free walk up the court everytime. No thanks.

Two halves are fine. I don't disagree with moving the lane, and the three point line, but his no brainer is a joke.
