You are wrong. If you go back to post #22 of this thread and re-read it, you will see that Camron is agreeing with Rut's statement that "Rhythm, Balance, Speed and Quickness is what you should apply when calling hand-check fouls on perimeter contact. If none of those things are disrupted, then you do not need to call a foul." Those statements are completely antithetical to the direction given us by FED and NCAA rulesmakers in regards to a defender placing two hands on a ballhandler.

Camron stated in that post that there are cases where an advantage is gained or play is too rough that two hands on a ballhandler is a good indicator. Both the FED and NCAA rulesmakers are telling us that particular call has nothing to do with advantage/disadvantage, rough play or RBSQ. If we see 2 hands on a ballhandler, we are simply supposed to call a foul.

Rut isn't talking about one very specific case where a defender puts two hands on a ballhandler after that ballhandler has beaten and gone completely past that defender and has a clear path to the basket. He is talking about all instances where a defender places two hands on a ballhandler. The rulesmakers disagree with that philosophy completely.
