Mr. Fronheiser,
Like I said, I understand your (and other's) concern about piling on a stopped ballcarrier. But at the end of the day, I have rely on the whistle, because you know as well as I do, that there is no consistent time that a player is stopped. If there were, there would not be plays where a "theorectically" stopped ballcarrier, doesn't break out of a scrum and run it to the endzone. It happens several times a year, and probably in games that each of us have worked.
I wish it were that simple for me, as a coach, to teach the players what you would like to see, but I don't see how it is possible. I am willing to entertain suggestions.
