Noob, you can call names all you want, but when was the last time you saw an NCAA Div 1 coach complain about a leap not being called?

Just because YOU are not part of the "in crowd" that knows how the rules are being applied at the NCAA Div 1 level does not mean the coaches there are not seeing the game called just as they expect it to be called, by and large.

It is very common for the written rules to be adjusted based on league, age category, tournament, etc. It happens ALL THE TIME, and umpires are expected to call the game as instructed. A well-run tournament will have coach's packets that will outline most of this; some will be communicated verbally; and some will be communicated by experience with the tournament and the level of play.

If you think the NCAA interpretation of their IP rules is having a bad influence on the game, take that up with the NCAA. It is not an umpire problem.

And, Noob, if you thing that Cat O is by herself in taking advantage of the NCAA IP rule interpretation, you have not been watching many games. Or, you have been watching them with resentment of burnt orange seared into your retinas.
