Foul on Defense Big Man?????

I have been watching alot of college hoops this winter and something I have been seeing is starting to kinda bother me. I know early on in the season the NCAA wanted to clean it up with the hand checking and all that. That is fine which I thought needed to be done. Then conference play started and then all that pretty much went away especially in the Big Ten.

But what is bothering me is the big men in the game are at a disadvantage from what I have been seeing called. Big man is straight up not moving and the offensive player creates all kinds of contact and the defensive big man gets called for a foul. Then I watch the official report the foul and more times than not the preliminary that they give is that the defender put his hands down. So I then rewind and watch. The reason he put his hands down is because the offensive player put a shoulder into the chest of the defender causing the defender to buckle down and therefore lowering his arms so to speak.

Ive been officiating HS ball for 21 years and have a hard time calling this. I usually call nothing or an offensive foul. When I dont call anything the coach of the offensive team is asking why and I tell them if he wants me to call a foul its going to be offensive. Just dont see why college officials are putting the defensive big man at a disadvantage in these types of situations.

Am I wrong for thinking this and not calling this?
