Flagrant fowl?

Because of the rule, you now have coaches telling their players to try to draw the contact and then sell it in order to steal extra possessions at the end of the game.  I understand the purpose of the rule.    We may now be seeing some unintended consequences. 

Perfrect example was the IU vs. Minn game earlier this year.

I listened to the radio feed for a chunk of the game.  Jamal Mashburn and the other announcer discussed when it happened and both felt the NCAA would tweak the rule in the offseason.  Both agreed with the good intention of the rule but agreed you can't call a foul like that one.  Jamal said he took a bunch of elbows and hands in his face and he was not bothered since he knew it was usually just accidental and unavoidable.  FWIW.

I do not like the rule, because the refs have to much descretion. All they have to do is determine it was a basketball move and they do not call it. They seem to be tighter on it in NCAA tournament, but I saw several times this year when they did not call it, when they should have.
