I do not see many officials do this. Maybe this is one of these things where most I have seen know the rule. The last time I saw this called like that was at a summer league probably over 10 years ago. That does not mean that officials are not kicking this, but I just have not seen it. Maybe our associations are doing a good job to teach this rule and it would be unacceptable to call anything else.
