Watching some of the NCAA tournament the last few days (mens and womens) is a refresher that outside of the NBA, basketball is still basketball for the most part.

Yes, it's the whole feet not set thing that I don't understand. I never understood why the defender doesn't have the same right to the space as the player with the ball. Allow the contact when both players are fighting for the same space.
You can tell from scores like 145-130 in games that defense has been handicapped. Kind of like baseball in that way.
