Maybe, but the rules did and have changed. There was no such thing as flagrant 1/2 back then and the officials called fouls differently then than now. A good example is you could get under the feet of a shooter and not get a foul called on you. You could hand check a guy dribbling towards the basket and officials wouldn't typically call those. They call them far more tightly now, which really favors the offense. It's just a much different game now than then.
