    ... as in the 1st month of the NBA season:

    NBA Rules Committee: 2

    NBA Coaches and Players: 0

    The committee changed the illegal defensive rules (the one that allows for any defense) to:

    1. Eliminate ISOs and encourage 'team play' - Advantage committee. As one article I read pointed out (I think it was on ESPN.com), even one-dimensional teams like Utah are struggling to adapt to the greater variety and flexibility defenses have now. The message is clear: No more giving the ball to your best player(s) and basically letting them win a 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 contest. In order to compete offensively you must involve more players.

    2. Increase scoring - Advantage committee. 5 teams are averaging 100 pts or more, 4 others are over 98 pts, and the 'fast break' has made a return to the NBA. Next month, the true PG and weak-side offense will make a comeback.

    Thoughts?

    This is very true unless your team begins with Hous and ends with ockets.
