The quote on NCAA.org is interesting:

As it did in the 2013-14 season, the committee is formalizing in the rulebook several officiating guidelines dealing with screening and post play, making those items fouls and not just guidelines.

“We had some success with perimeter defense and believe upgrading these guidelines to be clear rules will significantly impact enforcement,” Byrd said. “Without question, this will require an adjustment period for everyone in the game and it is likely to be difficult at times. If we strictly enforce these rules consistently, we believe players and coaches will adjust and the game will be much better in the future.”

1. Maybe it's just me but I thought the verbiage regarding screening and post play was already a rule as opposed to a POE on the men's side, or is that just another spot where the two rules committees branched off two years ago?

2. BNR, you've got that right. If the top dogs don't do it, the low end of the totem pole won't either. I know our S-RE has no problem keeping on supervisors to maintain the guidelines. I can call those things in my sleep.
