What? On a 2-on-1 the players should be attacking different sides of the basket. A 2-on-1 should result in a layup 95% of the time.
Stringer had the ball, attacking the basket. There was a defender desperately trying to get back to make a play. There was Hickey, almost in a straight line going through Stringer and Hickey. That's a bad place for Hickey to be because if Stringer needs to pass, he can't pass to Hickey because he's effectively blocked by the defender. If Hickey trails slightly--not directly behind Stringer, but from the other side of the basket and further away--then the defender can't possibly defend both players, and Hickey can attack the bucket knowing he has an easy pass to make if he needs to. Players never seen to learn that anymore, and they need to.

What are you talking about? Are you talking about Hickey and Quarterman late in the game? If you're so adamant about how they screwed up, at least know who screwed up.

But this should end in a lay up, not a mid-range jumper.
And your idea that the point of the rule change is to incorporate mid-range jumpers back into the game seems contrary to what the NCAA has decided to do. Apparently, the NCAA is focusing on contact on the ball handler, not on off-ball contact.
And I'm not being a dick, just pointing out the glaring inaccuracies in your justification for the rule change.
