In response to james
Changes in the rules and the officiating have made shot blocking (and contesting at the rim) more important than ever. Drawing charges and positional post defense have become difficult or impossible against good players who are allowed to crash into the defender, liberally use their off hand to ward off defenders, and carry, travel, etc. on their final approach. The Tennessee-Texas game in this year’s tournament was a great example, with athletic guards and bigs flying in to strip, contest, and block layup attempts every time. Maybe one or two attempts to draw a charge.
