Every hard foul is looked at if its a flagrant foul and a lot of weak crap gets called flagrant. This is why the old dudes don't respect steph curry and say the league is soft.

NBA realized a while ago that fans like high scoring games. You really want to go back to watching teams score in the 80s?

I do.

I don't like the ref going to the monitor after every hard foul.

This I agree with.

80s were great. The Knicks-Heat slugfests were terrible, except when they were actually slugging.

This basketball is fun

I mentioned it before, but I feel like the flagrant foul review and assessment is worse than the Hack-a-whatever...

Almost every moderately hard foul where the offensive player goes to the ground is now ruled a flagrant 1.

After event, this is the commentators:
"Hard foul given by Tav'on Tsunojukovic. Officials want to review"
"It's a good hard foul, very little contact to the head or shoulders, so this should just be a common foul"

(Long break from action)

"Well, they've ruled it a Flagrant 1. I guess they decided it was excessive force"
"That really surprised me (enter story from 1980s). I really don't see what they are seeing"



I also am not a fan of offensive players barreling into defenders at the rim and getting a call.

I heard JVG on a broadcast a while back talking about how he didn't know the difference between a common foul and a flagrant 1 anymore. The NBA has made this a moving target and different officials will rule very differently on similar plays.

This needs to be looked at, but then LeBron, Harden, and Westbrook would be out of jobs.

It's the players fault; they're Union representatives know there way around a courthouse, and the owners know that if they let the league get two physical, their will be hell too pay.
