The level is going up. Existing players are finding their edges diminishing and having to really push themselves if they want to win games. Some teams/players get desperate do things like sprint across the court with no intention of stopping, just to take a player out. Players will now try things if they think the ref can't see or won't call. New players see all this and push themselves beyond their learning curves. High sticking is everywhere these days - double digits in every game.
