A32 scores.

Would you call A75 for a live ball personal foul?
In NCAA, this is a LBF enforced as a DBF - succeeding spot. I like it better than your FED rule. Main reason? When NCAA had your rule, I found that most officials were extremely reluctant to penalize this behavior. Now, it's pretty uniformly enforced.
