    The impact of this rule change has always been underestimated. The rule change came after the 76ers-Lakers finals where you essentially saw Iverson doing isolation plays and so with Shaq and the Lakers.

    This is another reason why you need a good head coach and coaching staff in today's NBA. Isolation plays are destined to fail when you have a zone defending against it.
