Whatta ya got?

I don't know about the hand breaking thing. BI seems like a reasonable solution. Too often, I believe, refs are watching the contact against the backboard and asking themselves, "does that deserve a technical?" Even if the contact is intentional, they pass if it is no big deal. i agree with that, but also believe that if there were a lesser penalty (BI) it would get called more.

This is the same as the elbow rule. Not enough refs called the exessive elbow swing. Now that this is a violation, I see it more. Not a ton, just more.
