Amen! That is almost verbatim what I have been saying about it —*not as much as that's how some officials were calling it, but that's how coaches / players / fans think it should be called that way! So, you either have to reeducate all of the coaches, players, and fans ... or change the rule. At least something is changing.

So true. I do think it makes the play more obvious though. It should be easier to tell if a defensive player had position or not. However, that doesn't mean that there won't be controversy!!
