I've learned that the NCAA can't just leave well enough alone and they have to constantly tinker with things that aren't broken.
First, it's NCAAM. Don't blame my side for this

Second, I think the worst part of the rule change is it has otherwise capable officials thinking too much. I worked Part I of an NCAAW/NCAAM DH over the weekend. The officials for the men's game were in a serious discussion about plays like this as they headed out to the court. It was more of a panicked discussion like, "I'm not sure how to call these things." That's not a good feeling in mid-February.
