NBA's officiating crackdown is helping Stephon Castle expand his game
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle is having to adjust to new officiating guidelines and, in doing so, is expanding his game. Prior to the season, the NBA announced that they were going to crack down on offensive players extending their off-arm to gain separation.
Castle is among the league's worst offenders at stiff-arms. But thus far, he has managed to avoid picking up offensive fouls by taking more threes.
In fact, he's playing much more off the ball this season, forcing him to focus on being more of a shooting threat.
