Not to paint all NCAAM's officials with the same brush but I think they're going to have more issues than those of us on the NCAAW's side. We've had these guidelines, we just got out of the habit of enforcing them. More importantly, the players have known the guidelines for a while and generally adhered to them.
Meantime, as I write this I'm watching the replay of Michigan State/Kentucky and it's as though the players can't help themselves in terms of putting their hands on the ball handler. They know they're not supposed to do it but they don't look like they know how to play defense any other way.
