After about a month of the season so far, it seems these new rule changes have really made a change. I wish I had the #s of how many fouls are being called and FTs attempted per game.
Tonight, Mesquite vs Higley had 78 free throw attempts. 78! That is insane.
We played a game tonight that over 60 fouls called and 64 free throw attempts. We shot 44 FT's in a game! It was a close game and they fouled late but still. Four or five guys fouled out with many others close.
I really thought this "point of emphasis" would be tight early and slowly loosen back up. If anything it is getting tighter as the season goes on, now any contact anywhere is being called, unless it is a dunk, which for some reason contact is not being called but that is another story. The hardest part is that every night is officiated so differently.
Look at the bright side, games are taking twice as long so concession sales are up. Should be interesting to see how it plays out the rest of the season.
