It seems to me that they are trying to implement "guideline fouls" like the women have adapted from the NBA. I don't think it's a bad idea. Seems like they're going for "one point of contact" without extenstion.

Once the low-post player has the ball, I think it's fair to say that the defender has to play him just like he'd play a point guard up top.
That's right on. Were you in Atl?
