I'm going to come at this from a different angle.

In NFHS, it is clear that stationary defender B1 has a right to any place on the floor (I think that is the consensus). So, if a A1 crashes into B1 we have a PC or charge.

I don't know the fine points of NCAA, but I would guess that it is almost the same, according to the rule book.

Assuming by the book it is a PC or charge, shouldn't you current and future NCAA officials work at changing the mindset of your fellow officials to the book.

I believe we are obligated to try to follow the rules. How can you feel good about ignoring clear guidance in a rulebook? How do you have the moral high ground when judging other's behavior (ex: Howler Monkeys) if you are ignoring the rules?

I know you can't change things in a day, but shouldn't you try if you know better?
