I'm interested in seeing if this really happens as much as the FED thinks.

I've called it a couple of times so far. I like it a lot better. As I have sized up my own thought process, I see that I really had been no-calling it because it seemed so extreme. Now it's a lot easier.

The only problem I see is that since no one was calling it before, it looks like we're clamping down, not letting up. It's getting called more, so more players and coaches are coming face to face with the illegality of the move. They didn't used to even know it was illegal. But this seems like a small price to pay to get control.
