In the opinion of a D1 ref I know, it's all about the egos of the people on the Men's Rules Committee. His opinion is that the committee members do not want to admit that they are taking ideas from the pros. So they go out of their way to make it look different from the pros, even though in a large number of cases (although not in
all cases), the rule is applied exactly the same way.
Apparently, the members of the women's committee have exactly the opposite opinion. Not only are they NOT trying to differentiate themselves from the pros, but they are intentionally adapting more and more pro interpretations and mechanics. Watch out for away-from-the-play fouls next year??
