Personally, I think that they were teaching the exact same concept....oh....about 30-40 years ago. It was, and is, taught as "Call the damn foul if a defender gets an advantage with a hand check". Don't go away though. There'll be a new buzzword out shortly to replace RSBQ.

Same old, same old Scrapy. Just re-inventing the wheel, is all.

Btw, they're were teaching the concept in college camps long before the NBA changed their rule re: clutching and grabbing. Believe it or not, even lowly high school officials were using and teaching the exact same concept a long time ago.
