tyler,
Do you think officiating could be improved through the use of more technology, such as electronic eyes to determine if a player was out of bounds?
Am I alone in not understanding how “drive to the net” = “athletic” where “shooting the trey” = “unathletic”?
I think it takes a lot more skill to shoot a ball from 3-point range while defenders’ hands and limbs are thrown in your face than to hold the ball and run at top speed (since, let’s be real – EVERYONE travels these days) in order to slam it down the rim.
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to see a game of just passing around the arc and watching a hail of 3-pointers. But a game without strong incentives to shoot would be unwatchable for me. The fouling alone makes it almost unwatchable.
Shirkuh seems strange but true the blacks do better in Mississippi than anywhere else in the world.
Misssissippi is a really poor state. I would figure there would be better places for them, like Georgia.
The current foul arrangements are ugly but assist to create close finishes which are exciting.
It is best to keep them.
Limitting substution is a great idea. Defence seems to tire faster than attack (at least in rugby union/league). If so scoring would increase at the business end making the conclusion of a game even more exciting.
