I have no real basis for what I am about to say other than a gut feeling. I would tend to believe the reason that the offensive BI is not called unless it is very obvious is that there is really not a big advantage gained. Yes I know there are 2 pts scored, but if the ball is in the cylinder allready there is a chance it is going to go in anyway. However the same infraction by the defense has more of a detrimental impact on the play. Defensive BI certainly takes away the opportunity to score. I realize that the offense touching the ball in the cylinder is an advantage due to the fact that the defense can't touch it in there, but I just feel that before the offense gets called for it, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder would be able to see it...IMHO
