What is the problem with that?

It also has a serious impact on the court. If there is an intentional foul and the official incorrectly rules that it is a player control foul and doesn't award any FTs, then we have a correctable error situation. We certainly don't want that.
If you know the definition of a PC foul and you do not know how to enforce it, then that can be a big problem. You also need to know where to put the ball at, who is shooting FTs if necessary and who is ejected if ejected at all. There are a lot of things these test do very little on. If you really want to test rules knowledge, you have to ask not only what the rule is, but how do you enforce the situation after the call.

Then again, that is my opinion.

Peace
