The impact of this rule change has always been underestimated. The rule change came after the 76ers-Lakers finals where you essentially saw Iverson doing isolation plays and so with Shaq and the Lakers. This is another reason why you need a good head coach and coaching staff in today's NBA. Isolation plays are destined to fail when you have a zone defending against it. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/12/s...le-will-most-likely-be-eliminated.html?src=pm http://www.fannation.com/blogs/post/337437-zone-defense-in-the-nba-is-it-good-for-the-game what are your thoughts on the impact of this rule change?
