Sometimes they "bump" legally, and sometimes they miss in the attempt to bump illegally.

but I agree, it's nice when the coach tells us where to look to see if there's a foul.

Scoring seems to be up in the NCAAW /JuCo / NAIA games I've done. The first half is usually pretty rough, but the second is better as they adjust. The players just need to remember the adjustment from game to game.
