We'll get back to 80's basketball after players adjust.

I don't think it was all the contact that caused the lack of scoring the past few years. These guys today have no fundamentals. They can't shoot.

Jay Bilas had some good commentary on the rule changes during the Georgetown-Oregon game last night. He argued that the college basketball world got lazy, and stopped blowing the whistle for the last decade or so. Consequently, coaches started to teach their players hand-checking, etc. because they knew they could get away with it. I agree somewhat.

The game needed more offense, and a little less physicality. It'll be tough to adjust to the change for everyone (including refs), but it's a good rule change. The game is better for it.

There are definitely fundamentals in the college game. However, I do think AAU coaching has hurt fundamentals, and I'm not sure how much good teaching these players are getting before they step on a college campus.

Yep. Be patient. Hopefully the NCAA and its officials will keep pushing this.
