Message: [QUOTE="Bazz2014, post: 4837816, member: 10369"] Perfectly said. Consistency is not just about whether you call the game “tight” or “loose” for 40 mins- it’s about the level of contact that is deemed foul/non-foul being consistent whether it’s on or off the ball. If every 2 hand touch between half court and the 3 point line is called as a hand check and every swing of the arm under the basket is a foul, then every time you grab a jersey or blowup a screener to impede off ball movement should also be a foul. Right now, BE officials call a lot at the top of the key and right around the basket but they ignore off ball contact. That creates a huge problem for teams (like UConn) who emphasize off ball action in their offense and gives a huge advantage to teams that rely primarily on getting downhill, 1-on-1 and then creating via kick out or foul.
