It’s all about a change in attitude. I spoke with an NCAAW official last week who said he heard an assistant coach yell “Bump the cutters!” during a scrimmage. The official told the coach, “Um, you do realize when you do that you’re telling us a foul is about to happen, right?” Of course, if we could hear something like that in years past and not expect someone to be fouled within the next ten seconds - and call it - that’s on us.

The marching orders for all my college scrimmages has been "blow the whistle!", so then can be ready for it in the regular season.

Like anything else in life, people hate change at first, but eventually they realize the change is for the better. In this case, players will learn to play the game the correct way, and at that point the number of fouls per game will go down. Basketball won't turn into a "foul shooting contest."
