Now that it has been a season and a half since this rule was no kidding actually written into the rule book, I think it’s important for me to reflect on how many times I’ve called it. Hmmm, let me think. Oh yeah, once. Let me think about how many times any of my partners have called it. Hmmm. Zero.
Could I have called it more? Absolutely. But I’m very reluctant to do so until it catches on more and/or becomes heavily evaluated. Right now I feel like I’d be an official on an island if I chose to go after this (violation and possible subsequent foul) frequently.
I still think adding this rule was a solution for an insignificant problem. I was always happy to call a foul in that situation. Now, paradoxically, since I usually have to accompany the foul with a violation, I find that I’m less likely to call either because the subsequent administration is so screwy and hard to explain to an incredulous coach.
