Is that part of the recent move to consolidate fouls occurring during or following a loose ball interval, which seems to create anomalies?

REPLY: That might have been the reason. I don't recall exactly what the Comments on the Rule Revisions said that year, but I can check and let you know. I seem to recall though that you're right--they were trying to eliminate an exception to standard loose ball play enforcement.
