Message: [QUOTE="Sven23, post: 3105407, member: 9760"] Freedom of movement was suppose to be emphasized for the last 3 years. If the refs even called 10% of the freedom of movement rules schools like Miss St, Baylor, etc.. would have have 3 or starters foul at every game. There are a bunch of teams that their entire defense strategy is to hold, grab, bump on cuts, etc... stuff freedom of movement rule was suppose to reduce. The new catchphrase for the announcers is saying how physical the game is being played, it's called continuous following off the ball. The college game is like how the NBA used to be until they cleaned a lot of it up, which has allowed the skilled players not to get murdered every game. In the current cleaned up era Jordan or Bird would score 45 every night, when they played they were largely allowed to be manhandled, the Pistons won 3 championships mauling people. [/QUOTE]
