Stop being so dramatic. You started the post and I found it odd that you claim that the call was discouraged as if there was a mandate or something. First of all that is not the case, maybe they have different judgment than you do. That does not mean they completely ignore the call, as a matter of fact many have used the proper signals to suggest they do not have such a call to make. Again, judgment calls all the way and what you see on TV is not totally the same perspective you have sitting on your couch in your living room. Also those players are taller in many cases and they will appear to be closer than they really are or what we are used to working our HS games. You do not have to agree, but this is my take on it and no where have I not seen this properly started based on the judgment of the official. And college officials tend to be slower with starting a count than HS officials because they wait to see if the player is actually in 6 feet rather than starting a count when the player gets the ball.
