Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 154185, member: 127"] Not to be contrary but it's been the style of play for a number of teams even back in the 80's and 90's. John Thompson's GT teams were brutal and Providence coached by Pitino was a clutch and grab team also. Remember it was back in those "good old days" the Big East instituted the 6 foul rule and there were reasons that some coaches wanted that and it was tested in only 1 major conference, the Big East. Physicality is the signature for some coaches and some programs so unless referees control the extent of it, it will continue. The Big East has been known as a real physical league for a long time. The 6 foul rule ended after 3 years in 1992. [/QUOTE]
