The attempt to open up the game and increase scoring by calling every touch foul has been a disasterous failure. I watched a game in which one team shot 45 free throws in the second half alone. In a game I watched tonight both teams combined for 80 free throws. Games are taking forever to play. And as far as opening up the game and increasing scoring, it hasn't. Last year high school teams in KY averaged 58.4 points per game. With half the season over, this year teams across state are averaging 58.7 points per game. Teams are resorting to 2-3 zones instead of agressive man-to-mans to keep out of foul trouble. I don't know about you guys but I would rather watch a basketball game than a free throw shooting contest.
