I think it will partially happen. The NBA before the Tomjanovich incident makes today's NBA look like ballet. One shattered jaw (and okay, this was as close as one can get to murder on the court without someone actually dying -and apparently there was a real possibility of Rudy dying), and the league cracked down in a way that really openned the doors for the NBAs Bird/Magic/Jordan golden era. Few of the players in the league were alive when Rudy T had his jaw shattered. The NBA has gotten soft. I don't know if this will be the incident that turns the tide, but I see a crackdown coming that will clean the game up considerably.
