The NCAA, of course, HAS changed its handling of technical fouls, so that the ball in the posted situations would in fact be inbounded on the baseline. I'm sure that made you happy, Mark, but all the changes with T's sure
makes it more complicated for officials.

There arn't that hard of a change. The only differece are that some are one shot and some are two and that the ball goes back into play to the team that had the ball where/when play was stopped. Chris Webber's last game ring any bells?????one shot and Mich retains the ball.!!!

While the changes may not be "hard" per se, they nonetheless require the refs to do a lot more thinking now about what type of technical it is, how many shots will be required, which team had the ball at the time of the call, where was the ball located at the time of the call, if its on the baseline can the player run or is the spot designated, etc., etc. All this, compared to: 2 shots, ball OOB at the division line. The latter, you have to agree, was much simpler in implementation.
