I think in the last 5 or so games I watched, I think I have only seen one charge and it wasn't on a shot and the defender was just standing there for like half a century without moving.

Now the D is playing better and I think the rules got them to do what the league wants but now they can't buy a charge call. I think the pendulum has swung drastically to the other side. Eventually we will get to a happy medium but something will have to change for that to happen.

Just received an e-mail about this from my NCAAW assignor. He said we’re doing a good job getting contact *on* the ball handler but coaches were upset because we weren’t getting contact *by* the ball handler. I think it’s a case of you put something in someone’s mind – i.e., the guidelines – and that’s where they’ll focus.
