New NCAA hand check rule too much?

The NCAA has implemented a new no hand check rule. If your a shooter this can be your lucky day. Shots will be flying and games will become a long, foul shooting, boring 89-87 game, instead of a hard fought intense 63-62 game. In my opinion if you are a defensive specialist this is the time to change your game or no longer have any value in the game of basketball. The purpose of this rule was to even out the offensive and defensive game and rise the scoring of basketball game to make them more interesting. Do you believe that implementing a no hand checking rule was the best way to do this? Not me! Hand checking is a  way to get into the offensive player. Scoring should not come easy and it should be worked for. When someone is all in you and you still make the basket it is more rewarding and entertaining than the free throw shooting contest this new way of offensively triggered basketball to come. Let the girls and guys play basketball and stop putting the game in the refs hands. Let’s play ball girl’s and stop complaining about dumb fouls. Come on basketball is a rough sport if that’s not what you signed up for then you should stay on the sidelines.
