Aren’t they tired of pretending? FIBA and Olympic referees know how to call fouls so if they truly wanted a clean game, they could have it right away. Referees won’t change much if at all. It’s all a big charade if you ask me.
The jumping into defender's chest is really common. Are they outlawing that? A low key do not mind this. Pendulum has swung way too much to offense.
Well sure, but will they? We have the flopping rule, look where that went. They had new emphasis on Harden type of initiating contact, did anyone outside of Harden get called for it? And how long did that last? The problem is not the rules, it's the referees. They have immunity, cannot be critiqued and they can basically call it like it is. There's zero consequences for fishy refereeing and there's no clean transparent way of how referees are judged, which is important since supposedly the good or better referees get to advance in the play-offs and call the big games. Why do the controversial referees 99% of the time call the big games? It's not a coincidence..
all anyone can do is wait and see. But they definitely need to cut out this issue specifically or at least cut down on it.
