Looks like me when I played. You could hardly get a sheet of paper under my shoes when I attempted to jump. I had no talent so I had to use my 5 fouls wisely,that means some gotta be intentional. If ball handlers knew that there was a chance of going to the hospital when they tried to drive the lane, guess what they found a alternate route to the basket. I was 6ft 2in and 230 lbs. Little dudes bounced off of me like bugs on a windshield. Alot of times I had position and the call should have been charging on the offense but few good refs would catch it. Crowd would go nuts when little dude laying flat on his back got the foul and I got to shoot. Most refs penalized me for being the fat guy getting in a superstar ball handlers way. Intimidation was the only real talent I had so I had to make the most of it. It takes a smart guy to push the limits but not go over. Looks like these guys got it figured out.
I had my share of haters too. Had players and parents make threats to me and my parents and younger brothers. All over a game. The more they whined the more it motivated me to push the limits some more. Lots of guys attemted to put me in my place. Some of them are my good friends today.
Most of the problem stems from the people in the crowd doing their armchair officiating. They always know better than the guys on the floor. Looks like a prime example here. Some helicopter parent with their panties in a wad because thier home raised superstar might get a bruise and can't get that D-1 scholarship.

Props to the coach for sticking up for his players. Rare trait in coaches nowadays. Pizz on the whiners. Get tough or go home.
