re: College Basketball is ruined for me

After seeing the reactions from the exhibition games and first games this weekend I read a lot about the topic and the varying opinions from basketball minds.

Ultimately they knew it would be a dramatic change, they were just tired of so many games going into halftime in the teens. By their words, Basketball was never intended to be a pure physical sport, but a sport that emphasizes athleticism and finesse. They know the first few weeks will be brutal but players will learn to adjust and play defense with their feet instead of their hands if they want to stay on the court. It's going to create more shots where the offensive player dictates the shot instead of the defensive player forcing him into a bad shot with his hands.

It is painful to watch, but it is going to get better with time, and hopefully the result will be a better overall product. I think we will see a lot of improvement between now and January personally.
