That is true 'boileref', but in the same regard, the NCAA also made palming a Point of emphasis. I like the advantage/disadvantage philosophy. I think the spirit of the rule is what is important here when managing violations 85 feet from the hoop. On the other hand, it is a double edged sword because it is in fact a violation and there are many coaches who want you to call it by the book.
How is that for 'riding the fence' on the issue. I guess I have not offered much of a concrete answer. Sorry guys(gals!
