Here is the link to the women's proposal:

Somewhat surprised I didn't see anything on different rules for different divisions -- there was significant discussion on this. Maybe that comes in the next step.

Are NCAA refs having a hard time with adjudicating block /charge actions?

As I read the changes, I think they are saying the officials (generally) correctly ruled "charge" on plays, but the stakeholders didn't want so many charges -- they wanted more blocks. So, make the defender get set earlier.

That is it, they just want a game where it is harder to play defense legally and will push up scores. Anyone ready for 150 point games all the time?

As Bob said, it's about what coaches want. Block/charge plays are really not that difficult to officiate. Coaches simply want more blocks called.

Then they will complain when they get blocks that should not be blocked. Because that timing is not really going to change the reality that players set up and waiting on the ball handler and getting run over.

In my high school games, I agree, just concentrate on the feet of the defender.

It may not always be easy for me, but it's not my most difficult call.

Many of my high school colleagues say that block/charge plays are the most difficult for them.

While that may be true for those individuals, for me, travels are the most difficult calls.

Travels at the start of a dribble are easy for me, it's the travels at the end of a dribble before a try that are the most difficult for me.

No. There are people in the game that do not understand the rule. And all this did was go back to something that was earlier when they use to consider the "upward motion" which caused an issue then too. Honestly, this is going to create more inconsistency and debates over what took place.
