[fiasco]

I'm very perplexed as to how the college officials are calling PCF around the basket this year. From my watching (yes, I know I'm watching from the couch, I fully acknowledge this, and no, I don't have experience officiating D-I ball, but hey, this is a message board), block/charge is being called way differently than last year, and not just directly under the rim.

Have college officials been discouraged from calling charges in general? I've watched a lot of college ball so far this year, and maybe I'm just crazy but calls that I normally would have expected to be charges have ended up as blocks. Just the other night, a guy was set up on the block, LGP with the ballhandler a full stride and a half away. Bang, bang, and a block is called. I don't get it.

Anybody else seeing what I'm seeing? What are you being told by your interpreters? Is there any frustration at all at the new under-the-basket rule not being accompanied by some sort of reference line? It just doesn't make sense to me to make a rule like that and not draw a line for it. It's like erasing the OOB lines and making us start to guess when and where the ball goes OOB.
