Re: Eliminate AP under most circumstances

Rich, the NCAA actually implemented this rule about 4 years ago. It was an unmitigated disaster. The rule lasted only one year. There was too much confusion over whether the defense had "forced" the tie-up, or whether the ball was loose and tied-up simultaneously. It was horrible. I'm very glad they got rid of it.

Also, the team control foul is used for both men and women in NCAA.
