ASA uses the armpits as a visible point of reference from which to bring the zone down to where they want it called. And, guess what, it ends up about where the NCAA's "rule change" puts it - that is, where it is anyway.

The only people I know of who argue the hard case for the arm pits as the top of the zone are coaches on eteamz.
