Exactly. It was obvious that the adjustment period was going to be ugly. The result should be a better game once that period has passed. Sometimes you just have to go through a bit of pain to get where you want to go.

I watched some of the games on TV last night (Oklahoma St/Memphis, Arizona/Rhode Island) and there were plays in those games that would have easily been fouls in the game I watched over the weekend. It just seems like some of the NCAA officials have taken the instructions a bit too far and too literal and some games will suffer for it.

As for the "players adjusting": The players in the game I watched had adjusted. There were defenders with LGP that simply got ran into by ball handlers and were called for fouls. I just had a hard time defending the officials when I talked to other people who were at the game who complained about it.
