I hesitate to say F1 because I think that misleads people as to what conduct is intended to be penalized under the rule. Nothing has happened in the rules to change them from where they were a decade ago as to intentional conduct; I just don't think this particular strategy has been deployed to the point where it has caught the attention of the higher ups. Hopefully it will be clarified before the NCAA tourney when it really counts for everyone.

Well, you will need to take this up with the NCAA so that they agree with your position or the NF (without the video and training) to do the same.

Again, this is above most of our pay grade. We have nothing to do with what an interpretation says or how it should be done.
