Good defenders make more fouls then bad ones, i believe even the Bb said it 2-3 month ago.
I don't like the "bad luck" explanations because, well, they doesn't point out to anything we as managers can do or understand.

I guess we are too accustomed that various computer games let us master them and nothing depends on luck there.
Does this mean inside shot is a useless skill? Having a big man who commands a double team is one of the keys to getting open jump shots. Having a big man who can finish at the rim means that if one of your guards penetrates, the help defender will be that much slower because he has to worry about the pass as well. Obviously rebounding and defense matter, but I'm talking about offense here since that's the way the question was posed, and the author seems to pretty clearly realize that on defense an inside presence is important.
