If any defender steps in the paint at any point call a foul. That will really really limit the injuries. Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair

Refs can also stop calling fouls on the defense when the offense initiates the contact. There are many ways to give defense more advantages. I am sorry but sliding under a guy who is in the air is not something I can get behind. Like the one tweet said bring back hand checking to help slow down offenses. Aything but undercutting player who are up in the air. |

Offensive players are too free to initiate contact and feel comfortable with the fould call. I think at some point whoever initiates the contact should be called for the foul (especially if it isn't a real basketball move). I hate shooters jumping into defenders who made a good defensive rotation only to go to the line for a fake ass shot. ~You can't run from who you are.~

Or stop allowing offensive players to initiate contact and steamroll players to get fouls and dunks. Stop making defenders who are already limited in how they can defend, have even less ability to play D. Players like Giannnis, Harden, Morant, recklessly bull their way to the hoop knowing the defender can't touch them, and then try to embarrass them by carelessly jumping out of the gym to poster them with dunks. Kristaps lost a season and his time with the Knicks because Giannis did this to him, where was the complaint then?
Players need to stop thinking they are Shaq, but at least he backed you down to the basket, not run full-speed jump as high as he could and then land on you, imagine the injuries to defenders if he had. So, they put themselves at risk, and if the defender can establish a legal charging position and are willing to take the impact, allow it, or change the rule one or both ways. I'd prefer stopping the initiator of the reckless play, the Morants & Giannis, not the defender. This is not an all-star game, it is the playoffs, you earn baskets, not just given a Fournier/Prigioni lane to an open highlight dunk.
