I like the SBQ (I think the "R" is for redundant) guidelines. I try to use them and they help me. But I think it's unhelpful to imply that they are something different or separate from judging advantage/disadvantage. In calling fouls, we MUST judge advantage/disadvantage. The SBQ guidelines simply give us a slightly more concrete to do that.

Personally, I believe there is a difference. Some guys get knocked off there intended path and yet they still have a chance of beating the player, so if you ref adv./disadv. then you no call this cause he still has a shot at laying it up and in, whereas RSBQ says that this is a foul regardless and you don't "save a foul" on the defender. He deserves the foul, regardless if the offensive player has been put at a disadvantage or not. JMO. Alot of people do think this is the same, I just think it is a little different.
