Listen "CSG #575: Maybe it's time to bring back hand check in the NBA"
Episode Synopsis
With the seeming inability for NBA teams to defend and increasing offensive dominance in the league, Jeff talks about the concept of hand checking. Why over the course of 26 years (from 1979-2005) the league made repeated attempts to curb it and finally made it a strict penalty only after The Malice at the Palace early in the 04-05 season. While this undoubtedly helped out offenses ... it' also made it almost impossible to guard the perimiter on defense. On the latest Mortcast Jeff makes the proposal to allow hand checking to bring some defensive balance back to the league. Enjoy the show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
