Billy Donovan, the head coach of the Bulls, offers brutally honest reflections on the post-All-Star break foul decrease………………………………….
NBA commissioner Adam Silver made some remarks last month during the All-Star break in Indianapolis that seemed to imply the league would call fewer fouls coming forward. Nobody was certain whether or not there would be any modifications, let alone how obvious these possible alterations would be. About a month has passed since then, and coaches and players from all around the league have observed some changes. Head coach of the Chicago Bulls Billy Donovan is one of the coaches.
It has been evident to many, but Billy Donovan is just one member of the league who has taken note. Adam Silver’s initial remarks are listed below.
According to a South Florida Sun Sentinel report, Silver stated, “I actually am pleased with the state of the game.” “Having said that, I am aware of several coaches who believe that defense players’ ability to play defense—at least the style it was previously played in our league—has been somewhat hindered by our actions. That has been done largely on purpose. In this league, there was a moment when players felt that the game had grown too rough and that some of its artistic appeal had been lost. In the 1990s, I was among those who had that feeling.
The Bulls and Donovan have noted that there are fewer foul calls and that it is now harder for them to go to the line. For Chicago and perhaps a lot of other teams, the biggest problem with this is that everything changed suddenly, making it difficult to adjust to the new normal.
