As we enforced it last season in NCAAW, yeah, pretty much...at least when you're dealing with the BH/dribbler. I've already had a couple of plays in camps this summer where a defender kept their hand on a BH/dribbler who had turned the corner on the way to the basket. I held, made the call and gave the BH/dribbler FTs. My clinician - in this case one of my supervisors - told me I should have made the call earlier. The exact question was, "When did the illegal contact take place?" Since it was before the shooting motion I was told the play should have been ruled a common foul.
