There are some who might say this type of thinking has led to the rough play we see today. Like for instance, the NCAA.

You think so Dan? You think the NCAA wants us to call fouls on contact that doesn't slow a player down, that doesn't put him off balance, or that doesn't take away his first step?
Seems to me if none of that happened, then the defense hasn't gained any advantage with the contact. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your point.

Dan may be right. This philosophy does not cause or encourage rough play, but officials attempt to look good by passing on a lot of calls, some of which need to be made. Heck, I've done it.
