I don't remember if Adams said it like that, but maybe something similar. A couple posts up, is the poster saying he/she will call nothing on a questionable crash? If so, I think that is a mistake.

There are mechanics that we can apply to make calling these plays easier, but like Rut said complications were introduced.

It is what happens when you move away from NFHS and toward the NBA in rules and philosophy.

NBA rules and philosophy would have a high percentage of the plays discussed this season on here as offensive fouls.

Agree...but when you try to apply the philosophy without defining it well and expect hundreds/thousands of officials to implement it correctly, you're going to get a mess. The NBA has a small enough number of officials that it is far easier to get them on the same page even if it isn't defined as well by way of their frequent communications and training.

Of course, any institutional-wide changes are going to take time to assimilate. I think NCAA officials will have a good handle on the new upward motion plays within a season or two -- it just takes time.

This is exactly the problem. A smaller staff means you can do all kinds of things to give your staff information and give them one voice. The NCAA unfortunately has many voices. Yes, John Adams can speak, but they are given a lot of different infromation. Even their bulletins are not that extensive and only covers what recently happened.
