This is exactly correct.I think it was the early fouls that set him off.
It was not as you described. Players had arms up, not bodying the driver at all, feet moving.
The driver initiated contact and got the foul call. This is why we had so many starters on the bench so early in the game.
On the other side of the court, Memphis was hacking, using hands, 2 hands to push, everything we've been told needs to be called.
You can adjust and play the game the Memphis way and then you won't get called for fouls, but it's such a bad kind of basketball. No idea why the refs prefer to give the advantage to teams that isolate and drive over teams that want to run offensive plays.
That's how it as last night.
Then they are forced to play softer defense because the fouls are piling up, which is then what people pick up on and blame the loss on.
