    Think the best solution is to allow more defense on the perimeter.

    How is it not allowed?

    I’m not too knowledgeable about Xs and Os, but I’ve heard that teams haven’t really learned how to guard the 3 line that effectively since this new offensive paradigm of basically only paint points and a ton of 3s took over (defensive strategy is lagging behind).

    and there isn’t really a ton of room to do that in the corners.

    No kidding. Any less room and some players’ shoe sizes would be bigger than that space lol

      Think bringing back some form of hand checking would help, another option is widening the courts and pushing out the line but not sure the teams will want to lose that space since that’s the space they sell at the highest price.
