Have you ever looked at Appendix III in detail?

The fact that both Men's and Women's ball addresses the issues differently in the back of the rulebook (under the Officiating Guidelines in the back of the NCAA Rulebook), suggests there is a different philosophy on hand checking and post play. They do not use the same language or the same points to talk about these rules. Men's basketball goes out of their way to call hand checking "Impeding the process of a Player." At the same time Women's uses the term "displacement" over and over to describe illegal contact with the ball handler. The games are different and they committees are different. Not sure why you would be surprised that they have different philosophies as to what should be called and why. Maybe this is why both sides have their own officials?
