DETROIT - As one of the few coaches that still uses a pair of big men largely operating in the paint, Pistons coach Dwane Casey said the NBA's emphasis on "Freedom of Movement" fouls should better protect post play.
"How do you call freedom of movement in the post?" Casey said. "It's a bulldozer down there. A lot of teams have gone away from post ups. We're one of the few teams that really relies on a lot of post-ups. The emphasis on the perimeter, freedom of movement. But down in the post, there's a lot of banging, hitting. It's very difficult to officiate.
"I would say that is something we have to look at as a league. We helped our perimeter players, but what about our 7-footers and 6-11 players in the post. They're getting banged and hit, get sore backs from all the contact."
The Pistons average 16.5 post-ups per game, the second-most in the NBA. Griffin's 7.3 free throws attempted are ninth-most.
