It is painful to see people die a slow death. Sometimes we feel it would be much better if they would die quickly and do away with the agonizing decline.
The fathers of college basketball seem determined that defense shall die. "Defense is bad" seems to be the motto these days. "We have to have more scoring." Well, why piddle around about it? Just change the rules to where players cannot play defense - at all. That obviously is what they want. Oh, they give lip service to it, but they really do not want it. They want to see games of 110-108, because those are "exciting." Ok, fine. If that is what you want, then at least have the courage to go ahead and admit it and change the rules to where defense cannot exist at all. Just do it. That is obviously where you are trying to take the game. If you are determined to murder defense, then put a bullet in its head.
