Understanding you do not want to go from L to L!
I agree!

IMO...this change in mechanics goes against the "call a foul and go tableside" idea.
Now we have a situation where we actually do not go tableside on every foul...and again IMO is more steps.
Sure it works for college...they just "clear" and report...NFHS has a reporting area, so in the end it is more steps.
I just think they could have left well enough alone and stayed more consistent with the foul mechanics.
