Don’t care for “ physicality” of the game

Age showing but I enjoyed the freedom of movement and actually seeing space between defender and offensive player.

Cringe when I hear basketball coaches saying we need to be more physical or we need to fight.

It’s a wrestling match anymore in the front court.

It has almost become unwatchable.

College basketball is horrible. Good points above.

yeah the physical contact has gotten incredibly out of control and is an officiating cluster&*%%#$ waiting to happen. The game is and has been ruined for a long time. that's why nobody bothers about it except paying a little attention with March Madness, which is hogwash. It's devolved into a horrible game to watch.

Games seem to be taking much longer as well.

I don’t have the data to back that up, just feels that way.

It has almost become similar to watching a pick up game at the park. Plus the officials never make the same call twice on the same play.

I have a slightly different take. I LOVE physical play. The rougher the better and I want players who crave contact. It’s not the physicality that makes the games unwatchable. It’s all the foul calls that makes it unwatchable. Let them play!

It’s college basketball but it’s particularly bad in the SEC.

When your refs are known across the country to “let things go” maybe your refs aren’t doing a good job.

It's been a little while since I played any pick-up games at the park but when I did you couldn't get away with what is let go in college basketball with three officials on the court.

So when guys are setting screens like a blocker in football..you think that is good ?

Or a rebound becomes two wrestlers grabbing one another?

Well it took 12 hours to play 4 games the other day.
