One thing about college and pro basketball I'd like to change. I see a lot of guards dribbling with a defender along side. The defender is making minimal contact but as they get close to the rim the dribbler suddenly collides with the defender....sing him as a brake then shoots a short jumper. The foul is called 99% of the time against the defender when he didn't initiate the contact. Even though he is still moving that space he occupies should be his and not the dribbler.

  I know this was supposed to be addressed in a rule change before the season started but it seems like the refs are ignoring it.

  On the other hand, refs already over-use the charging call. It goes both ways.

  I'm no expert but during one game I was watching they explained that if the dribbler gets ahead of the defender (closer to the basket) then it is a foul on the defender. If the dribbler isn't closer to the basket and pushes off the defender it's a foul on the dribbler.
