Either the NCAA and/or NF change the rules on contact or stop trying to apply a "philosophy" which is in complete conflict of rules in your Appendix or POE. Also the heading of that NCAA Appendix III (not II) says "Officiating Guidelines. So these are guidelines, not rules or absolutes.

If certain areas want to hold clinics that advocate completely ignoring NCAA guidelines as well as the the clinic information put out by the NCAA itself, so be it. The NCAA has already identified that as being a major concern.
For anybody that wants to know how the NCAA wants handchecking and body bumping called ...not me(my opinion doesn't matter).. but the NCAA....all they have to do is look in the NCAA
RULEBOOK under Appendix III-Section 7 and also go to:
http://www.eofficials.com/controlpag...NCAA.aspx?ID=3
Click on NCAA under "AFFILIATES AREA"...then click on "Mens Basketball". Look under
2007-08 CLINIC INFORMATION and click on "chapter 3- hand-checking and body bumping". Apparently, what is taught in the posted official NCAA clinics is completely different than what is being taught in some local clinics. Imo that's sad.
