Basketball is a contact sport. If you can pick and roll, there is contact.
The other thing that pisses me off is that I have seen the offensive foul (on elbow) called when the defender is touching the offensive player. Should never happen. The MSU defender had his hand on Schofield right before the elbow. If the defender is making contact, then the defender can clear him out. You can't just allow a defender to make contact.
I'd like to see the stats on why fouls are called. One big change is that defenders aren't allowed to put TWO hands on the offensive players.
I wish they'd stop calling those fouls 40 feet away from the basket that didn't create a huge advantage for the defender. But what can you do? When the rule says it's a foul and the defense keeps on doing it... not calling the fouls is the same as if the rules don't exist.
