Media people were the "cause" if you ask me. Many in the media complained about the Ohio State player that took a charge and started pontificating about how that was not a offensive foul. The noise was getting loud enough I believe there was committee people listening. And I believe that was discussed on the NCAA Tournament broadcast from people that had more of an NBA understanding and got into the heads of committee people as well. Remember there was a lot of talk about scoring being down and what often happens is rules committees overreact to things being said rather than looking at the people that are actually holding scoring down and that is the coaches. Just look at the way Louisville and Michigan played in the National Championship game. The coaches clearly wanted to run and shoot when open unlike many programs around the country. So they looked for a band-aide solution for internal bleeding. Just look at the reference to scoring in this press release.

Peace
