Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1266568, member: 569"] Agreed our system of defense isn't a physical one plus with our lack of depth we simply cannot afford t play that way. The way they let Rakeem and his defender wrestle for position and only call it one out of every 8 possessions was frustrating because it was happening every time. If its a foul once its a foul every time (on one of them) and by not calling it you encourage both the defender and the offensive post guy to keep ratcheting the physical play up more and more. Two hands or a forearm lower than the shoulders on anyone in the air or attempting to jump should be an automatic foul every time as it is in the NBA. I cannot recall a game in the last 5 years or so where we had so many players jump straight up and move sideways in the air. Even just a little bit throws you off your rebound or shot and if they get you on the jump you aren't getting up as high. [/QUOTE]
