I don’t think off path should be called. If balance is lost, then blow the whistle. I want to watch the best players decide the outcome. I don’t want to see the 8th through 11th guys at the end of games. Just my opinion.

Two hands simultaneously on the dribbler should always be a foul -- Moseley Hokie Feb 22, 2026 at 09:08 AM ET
