The new, ticky-tack hand check rule was disastrous for KWC in the first half and eventually ended with 5 members of that team fouling out. This will prove difficult for many teams to adopt to at first. Coach Petino said he has been through this at the pro level and eventually everyone will catch on.
looks like the rule is aimed at boosting the offense. And, I am sure the refs will back off some as the season wears on.
