And it is working its way down to the high school level, with officials at camps being told to ignore contact after a good block.

This is a slippery slope...

Jmo, but I think that it might be more a league thing at the NCAA level, and it actually varies from group to group. All college officials sureasheck aren't being told to ignore illegal contact after a good block; I've seen way too many calls to the contrary on tv.

As to the high school level, I'm not really aware of anybody teaching officials to ignore contact. I think that in some cases they might be teaching officials to ignore certain types of contact, but certainly not all contact.

And as for the NBA, I sureasheck agree with you on that league. I don't have a clue what traveling, palming, or a foul,etc. are anymore. It's become unwatchable imo.
