ALL:

From the article:

Focused on 24 PSIs of missing hot air and hype in New England, we've all missed an actual rules revolution going on in Seattle that, with one more win on Sunday in Arizona, could fundamentally change the NFL -- forever.

Ya wanna know a few consequences of what this "true rules (bypass) revolution" has been?

#1...

The NFL, via its refs, had to from the get-go of the 2014 preseason overhaul its entire enforcement of all of that defensive contact...why?

Well, you can "thank" primarily the Seahawks' 2013-2014 "dirty play" for that!

Teams realized that "dirty play" could help earn a SuperBowl ring! (Can you spell e-m-u-l-a-t-e?)

The 2014-2015 penalties were indeed "through the roof" early in the preseason...and even up early in the season...as teams were implementing their "Seattle strategy" defenses -- but THEN had to temper it as the season went along upon the realization that the NFL refs were reining them in.

Now...If we were to apply "the Seattle strategy" to the NBA and/or college ranks...

I would...
* ...recruit & have available 5 or so very mobile 6-7 to 6-11 300lb+ bruisers who could play defense quite well and rebound very well...
*..along with the best two close-contact big defensive guards I could find...(to match "head-hunter" Kam Chancellor in football, tho I heard the Seahawks' coaching staff finally tamed his "head-hunting" helmet targeting tackling under control this season)
* ...I would shuttle these high-contact bruisers in and out as much as possible so that they were in much more on defense...--with only 1 or 2 of them in at a given time...but at least one most of the time...

Of course, each "bruiser" would eventually "contact" the other team to death so much so as to attempt to deflate ANY sense of rhythm...

The "end result" would be to increase game fouls by between 1.5 and 2 for any given game...
...and for a few key games...I'd even risk fouling out up to 7 of these "bruisers"...
...all while at key "momentum" points of the game...I would bring all these bruisers off the court and have my "high-flying offense" kick in to contrast a hackers' go-to-the-foul-line defense with a "two-minute" fast-break offense so that the focus wouldn't defensive overkill.

The result?

Other teams would get frustrated by the higher level of contact & retaliate...hence some of the better opposing players would either foul out or get more bench time with higher # of fouls...

After all...even with perhaps doubling the # of fouls, I'd realize as a coach, "Hey, the refs may double their whistles, but if we hack-attack them 3 or 4 times above normal, they are NOT going to triple or quadriple their whistles. Nobody wants to watch that in the NBA!" (except the fans benefitting from it).

Thanks, Seattle Seahawks!

Can't wait for ALL college teams & pro teams -- football and basketball -- to implement your strategy!!!
