This is a classic
waffle! Don't call a foul if the defenders fakes a foul/flops! That's a damn
technical! You see the waffle here. Either it is or it isn't! There is no in between or at least as far as officials are concerned, there shouldn't be. If you want consistency, it's a foul, one way or the other, period. There is no situation in which you are not putting air in the whistle here. If there is, then we are no better off than we where before.

And btw, I'm not even sure that no-calls on huge crashes under the basket are as common as you make them out to be.

You may not be so sure, but the committee has made this a POE for this year, which means they disagree with you.
From the 2007-08 NCAA Men's Points of Emphasis.
This year, the charge and block situations occurring at the basket area are
the points of emphasis.
