So is the call a charge when the offensive player tries to go between the defender and the line and is trip up by the defender standing in a normal position? I only raise this question because if I was a coach with the current interpretation I would teach my players to go baseline almost everytime. I think it gives the offense a decided advantage and takes the boundary lines away as another defender.
What I got from the Illinois High School Association is that the premise is that the game is to be played between the lines.
I do not like this interp but I will make the block call everytime and tell the coaches before the game that is the way it has to be called.
