Regarding point 2, I think that this is not so much the NCAA being inconsistent but simply a lack of foresight. They made a point of telling officials to call more charges under the basket. This gave the defense a significant advantage, especially at bigger-program schools with the bigger, quicker defenders.

Now the committee aims to neutralize this advantage with a no-charge zone, because defense is boring. And they fail to foresee the problems with that idea (but only expect to live with them, since pro ball has them too).

Think your school can score 100 in 40 minutes?
