Message: [QUOTE="Bjbod, post: 4247068, member: 11196"] The article most likely would not have been written if the author was a Texas fan. I like ISU, but have pointed out several times they get owned by physical and athletic teams. Unless there's a movement to restrict hand-checking Fennelly needs to recruit a different player than he's used to. I'm old, but back when I played fouls were called when the defensive player put ONE hand on their opponent. You could still 'body up' on someone within reason without being whistled. Really wish they'd go back to that strategy...still rewarded more athletic teams but made calling fouls a more objective process. ISU powered through this 'disadvantage' pretty well for the 1st time in Big 12 Tourney vs Texas...made it to OT instead of losing by 20. Looks like Bill is teaching his finesse team to adjust.
