Response to Hickey article

Hickey talks about rules in The Heresy of Zone Defense. By analyzing the rules in the basketball games, he believes that rules sometimes are harmful. Just like basketball game, rules may decrease creativities and slow the pace of improvement. However, people used to create rules and following them to simplify things. As a matter of fact, rules sometimes lead to the adverse results. It is interesting that the write make connection between rules and basketball to illustrate his points, which may impress people who are huge fan of basketball games.

The writer may over reject rules. I think rules play an important role in our daily lives, though it sometimes bother people. In fact, the advantages of rules overweight the disadvantages. With rules, people can deal with problems based on a common view, which made everything much easier.
