Protection

I said I was playing devil's advocate, I don't think anyone should have to change anything. Defenders choose to get close or not, I also understand you may not be choosing to get close in some instances.

Do you disagree with my point that shooting hasn't changed, defending has?

Yeah, that's why I quoted the part about you playing devil's advocate (to acknowledge that I recognized that).

I don't agree that shooting hasn't changed. I don't know, to be honest, but my gut tells me it's shooting more than defending. I don't see people sticking their heads in the way of mallets very often. I do see massive swings quite a lot (and some have even claimed I take massive swings. So mea culpa. But I think that's true of almost everyone on the court). But I don't know is the answer.
