What I found interesting is the sentiment among the NCAA coaches that their game is more physical than the NBA.

The Bilas thread on this subject had differing opinions but seems like many of the coaches agree with him.

The funny thing is, the college coaches have far more control over how this is called than the NBA coaches do. If they were serious about getting it called tighter, the coaches from Michigan and Michigan State would have significant say in making it happen.

True indeed.

For all the talk of wanting more freedom of movement, a guy like Pitino is going to be bitchin when one of his starters has to sit with 3 early fouls on the perimeter.

The one that stuck out for me was Beilein saying he teaches the contact. I know we say it and we definitely can tell it happens but that's really telling.

I had a GV (yes, girls' varsity) game this season where I hear the coach tell his kids during a time out, "You've got to get into them! Bump the cutters when they go through the lane!" Coming out of that time out the first girl on the other team to pass through the lane gets chucked...hard. And yes, the whistle blew.

It's like the "hot stove" touch on the dribbler for NCAAW. It's in the book. We see it every preseason in our officiating video. Of course if we actually call it, the coaches get ticked off.
