    I actually thought the real transgression was just prior to that clip; he elbows Melo hard in the gut.

    I do agree goaltending is a dumb rule, but I also believe that they should actually call the rules they have on the books.

    And if basketballs had barbed wire embedded in them, Gobert should have made a better decision than to spike it after it came off the glass. But since the game is played according to the rules of basketball, Dame is entitled to think the league would make use of refs who were endowed with the basic senses needed to make an obvious call at a critical point in the game.

    Or just go total savage. No refs and no rules other than whoever scores the most points gets to cut out and eat the hearts of their opponents.

    I’ve thought for a long time that the game should be played with a mush round ball to take away the dribble. Only passing and hand checking allowed again. 15 second clock

    Have the players wear protective gear, like football. But with one rule.

    No blood, no foul.
    Also, fine a player for every dribble.

    Good one! You almost had me there, believing Stotts actually makes in-game adjustments!

    You realize that without the goaltending rule 3pt and midrange shots would all get swatted as they are coming down at the rim right ?

    I had the exact conversation with my brother. Biggie made it look like WWF, or like a matador bullfighting, or play acting.

    If you go by FIBA rules, that isn't the case. I'm in favor of FIBA rules.
