On my UAPB team in Phelan, I'm having my PGs foul out at a ridiculous rate this year. Granted, I shouldn't be incredibly surprised given their incredibly low DE ratings. However, they have went from committing 2.9 to 4.1 FPG for Herrin and 2.4 to 4.0 FPG for Rogers without changing anything about my offense. They also have a higher defensive IQ, so they should be fouling less. Feel free to share your thoughts and/or chastise me for recruiting such terrible D1 guards.

You SOS is much harder this year, so low Def gets exploited more?

I would definitely agree that I've played a stronger non-conference SOS, hughesjr.

However, in conference play, my PG's have fouled out in 3 out of 4 games, and the SIMs in the OVC are of the same caliber as last year ...

The new shot clock should add 4 to 6 possessions per team per half. That is not that many.

However, good D-Ath teams may just be playing uptempo all the time as to try to force as many fouls and free-throws as possible...
