The NBA addresses it on their own with specific rulings/mechanics. The NBA allows more hand-on defender stuff so it occurs with regularity. For college and HS, I like it for calling fouls on the defense with the hands/arms horizontal into the offensive player's space. It cuts down on hand-checking, arm bars, swinging elbows, etc. I like the college rule regarding personal cylinders. It just makes for a cleaner game and less on-ball garbage. Usually at the MS/HS level, a verbal "easy" is enough to get those horizontal arms out of there.
