Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4487562, member: 591"] I have floor seats. Arizona plays extremely aggressively, largely on defense, as shown by their fouls and lack of foul shots. I have posted for years my take that PAC refs allow way too much contact in the paint, way too aggressive physicality going after loose balls (yes, I know that's not a foul, but there should be a line) and tend to call a lot of touch fouls that impede progress but lack any physicality. I'm not changing my opinion. It doesn't mean that any fouls that are called aren't fouls, or that fouls called are never physical. But I came from the east, where (largely) a high percentage of fouls were called in the paint and on screens, and less on just random contact. In todays paper, Adia said this week will be spent on trying to help the players understand who to play defense without fouling, as that was one of the reasons we played so poorly against Stanford. Also on boxing out, which was something else that was poorly executed. Of course playing Stanford as the 3rd game in 5 days made the outcome even more certain than it already was. [/QUOTE]
