The rules changes that college basketball’s overlords instituted to create a more free-flowing game seem to have taken their effect.
At least, that’s the belief held by N.C. State forward BeeJay Anya, who sees opponents go batty trying to defend slippery Wolfpack point guard Anthony “Cat” Barber without drawing a whistle.
“I can see it all the time,” Anya said. “A defender gets mad because (Barber) is so fast that sometimes you have to put a hand on him a little bit to keep him in front.”
With rules promoting freedom of movement for offensive players, those are fouls.
