You're more likely to get an actual steal; and you're more likely to actually get the foul you're trying to get. And, you're far less likely to get an intentional foul.

But many times they don't go for the ball and it's not called. It's not called because officials are taught to be very careful about calling intentionals late in close games. So many that otherwise would be intentional are not called that way. So is a rule change in order to reflect the way it's actually called. It seems the POE approach isn't working. The rulebook official will call them but the game management official won't so does something need to be done to make it so that everyone ois on the same page. just an opinion.
