That's not what he's saying. He's saying to call the area under the basket just like any other area on the court. If the officials had called the proper charges under the old rules, the effect (fewer crashes under the glass) would have been the same.

Sorry. Misread it.

At any rate, the rules people (coaches) usually put stuff like this in because they feel we've been inconsistent. This takes away the officials' thought process for the most part.

I'll agree with this, too many officials were just no-calling the play because they decided it didn't need to be called.
