I will cut right to the chase and tell you why it comes up so often.

Think spineless. I would bet a game check that many officials still call this BI because they don't know the rule and/or are two spineless to give the T. It is a judgement call: if the official feels like it was not a legitimate attempt to block the shot it is a technical foul. If the backboard shakes and the ball does not go through the hoop, too bad so sad. The team will have two free throws and another attempt to make the shot.

Scrappy, I know you know this, but other people keep asking and it is high time we called it like it is.
