The current version of college basketball does not in any way resemble the way game was envisioned by James Naismith. The game quite often resembles the World Wrestling Federation, especially in the immediate vicinity of the basket. Anything goes these days.
No way to predict which way physical contact will be called by officials, it’s anybody’s guess. Take the call on poor Sydney Curry of the University of Louisville basketball team late in the overtime in Tuesday’s game against North Carolina.
