And most of it, I think, is the fault of the defense.

I'm not blaming the officials.

Well, I agree with that.

When you're doing your game tomorrow.

I will.

And that call is prevalent.

I know exactly the play you're talking about.

It's mostly going to your right hand, down the lane, and it's a little bit of a bump with your shoulder into their chest.

And then you kind of almost veer off sideways and just throw it up and you get the whistle.

Well, you know the one thing that they told us was going to be the point of emphasis this year was they're really going to watch the high five contest because they felt like guys are getting out of control with it and taking advantage too much and there's too much contact on the hand.

Or there was a swipe down and a follow through hitting guys on the forearm.

They want to protect the shooters to a higher degree.

Ironically, in the two games I've called

I've only seen that even come up a couple of times.

So that's not even really played into these calls.

Most of them are on reach-ins and grabs and slaps when you're out of position and guys are driving down the lane about to gather to go up to shoot.

And you're seeing that help defender reach in and they're not in position to make the play and they're carelessly reaching in and hitting guys on the arm.

That's been, to me, the majority of the whistles I've seen, particularly on the scorers.

So let's see.

What happens going forward, I'll certainly be watching for all this stuff in my game Wednesday night.
