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 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 ?
Same. I hate all the loosening of the rules and then the same ppl complain tons about inconsistency. I hate how almost every screen is a moving screen. I hate the hand check and ride the offensive player era. I hate the constant carries in the name of “handles”. I hate how “1 step and a half” turned into 3 steps somehow bc 2 steps was insinuated due to the gather step being the half step…and then ppl said “2 steps” long enough that it became “2 steps and a gather….so 3”.
Moving screens should be enforced. Hard screens are just part of the game. On the rebounding thing, hell yeah I want physicality allowed. I think as long as the players are going for the ball they should be allowed to be as physical as they want.
If they allow a physical game then free throws become a premium. They can be the difference in the game and now when a guy goes to the line it has meaning and its impactful.
Bring back the hand checking and prewwing would come back in style or have 15 players and run teams into the ground.
I've been saying for a while that I believe it would be better as a "call your own" on the honor system than what we've been seeing. Physical play is fine to a point as long as it's the same for both teams.
Wait until NCAA and the Refs do not allow physical play. SEC will be in trouble without thug ball
There is no pussification of the game today. It’s a horrible game to watch as the ncaa has changed the rules and ruined the purity of the game. It’s basically football on a basketball court. You are the only person I have seen that wants the game to be rougher. Very odd.
Yep , the product sucks … ask why . Why ? The game looks like rugby or football .. bring back the carry .. don’t allow the 2 hand hand checking . Offensively you shouldn’t be able to steam roll the guy guarding you. Shaq ruined the game .. im bigger , im running over you with my ass the size of a small country .
I don't know what a player has to do to get a carry call anymore. Often the ball is cupped in the hands of the dribbler and nothing is called. Heck, I don't know the last time a lane violation was called. It is certainly killing the game.
No blood no foul. Let's introduce scrums to move the ball down the court. And make the rim 11 feet tall. No pussies allowed.
Pre conference SEC record would seem to indicate otherwise.
The game is rough enough. I want less fouls called, thus allowing for the rough play that’s already happening. It’s a very subtle difference, but still a difference.
Same here and we would even call our own fouls if we made an obvious foul on someone. Watched some pickup games at a local gym I workout in and it's anything goes with constant yelling at each other. That sure looks like a lot of fun. College game is getting similar and doesn't resemble basketball all that much. Just a pushing, bumping, very rough game where the strongest guy wins as the reffing is horrible. Not much fun watching that crap.
Add the excessive taunting getting worse every season. Totally classless. Respect your opponent.
