As I pointed out, it's the men's rules committee that pushed for this one.

There is an airborne shooter rule, it just does not apply to a PC foul. But that is so rare it never happens. I think once in my 8 or 9 college year career have I ever had to even rule on such a play. Also Class A and Class B Technicals are really about terminology, the rule is basically the same when it comes to other levels for the most part.

Not having a 10 second rule violation and no closely guarded unless a ball handler is holding the ball is IMO very different and likely to happen more often. And then when they consider the 10 second rule they completely have to be different to start the count.

And I understand why they pushed for this separation, that is why I agree with that proposal.
