LTG, you have yet to give anything to support your position that this rule is unfair to the defense.

Isn't the entire purpose of defense, from a player's point of view, to stop the other team from scoring and get the ball?

Does this rule in anyway interfere with that purpose?

As several posters have explained, how is a TC foul any different than a PC foul?

Why should which offensive player has the ball matter?

If anything it requires better defense to draw a PC foul, so why isn't that call more unfair?

This rule may come up so rarely that it is so, a non-issue. I have officated about 100 games this summer with TC fouls in the rules and we have called it 3 times with team B in the bonus. At least 1,500 to 2,000 foul calls and it was an issue THREE TIMES.
