Back in the day the NBA teams elected to follow a plan to foul Shaq on every play to send him to the line. Hack-a-Shaq was better than a dunk. Now Big Ten coaches have decided to body Garza anywhere on the court with multiple defenders. I know how I feel about it and the lack of recognition of this tactic by the officials, but I'm curious of how my fellow Hawk fans feel about this. Am I simple a "homer" seeing conspiracy or do most fans see Garza getting about what he gives. The rough stuff started in earnest during the Maryland game and teams have followed the blueprint since. The Indiana coach alluded to this in a post game saying he challenged his players to basically attack Garza and "be physical". Has the league gone too far with this strategy, and why is the league officials allowing it? Would this be Iowa's tactic if we were facing Garza and I'm just a hypocrite?
