Methinks we can....

Unsticky the 2015 rule changes.

I'm going to leave them for another 5 months now.

OK done. 2016 changes involving things nobody was asking for along with adding additional obscurities to the rules are less than a month away!

Isn't that always the case?

Reading the thread on RefStripes where a member of the rules committee posts leaves me depressed. I'd bet nothing of substance will be changed...again, although there are some things mentioned there that would make a lot of sense, such as allowing a spike from a shotgun like every other level of football.

The mindset of "We're not going to do it that way just because NCAA does" likely won't change in our generation.

Absolutely which is why I can say so with confidence.

I've never seen someone be wrong and double down the way you do.

I'm amazed actually. I've taught all-but-one many times and it's clear that the phrase has to do with basic spots and does apply to defensive fouls as well.

In college rules, it's referred to as 3-and-1. The 3 are offensive fouls beyond the basic spot, defensive fouls beyond the basic spot, and defensive fouls behind the basic spot. The one is offensive fouls behind the basic spot. The 3 have basic spot enforcement. The 1 is enforced from the spot of the foul.

This one seems to have run its productive course.
