I knew you weren't, and I realized that part of my post wasn't necessary. I will add, however, that I would be just as likely (probably more so) to get in trouble with the opposing coach for granting it as I would this coach for not granting it. Odds are better that they know the rule.
You're also right that you're not arguing for a new rule, just an addition to an existing rule. That said, the committee isn't likely to do this for a problem that doesn't exist.
I'm really pretty ambivalent on this point (adding BI to this T, if the ball is in the cylinder), but I'm against calling it BI on a legitimate block attempt. I'm even more against making it BI when the ball isn't even in the cylinder.
