I have worked 3 men's college games and 2 scrimmages so far. I haven't had a game yet where there were less than 45 free throws. Scoring wasn't noticeably up from games I worked last season, there are a lot of bad free throw shooters at the college level. On the other hand, game time is significantly longer and absolutely no flow. Eventually this might work, but I think the adjustment period is going to be longer than the people who wanted the game called this way thought it was going to be. These players have been using their hands to play defense since they were in junior high, they are not going to stop that fast. In the meantime, the game is going to be boring as hell to watch from the fans perspective.
