I'm for dispensing with "about to receive," which it turns out means "the ball is between the fielder and the runner," in other words, not what you would think it means. However, let's also redefine the crash rule with precise language that gives a little more protection to the fielder.

I had to prepare to do some NSA games at the end of the year and noticed that they had no "about to receive" clause. However, I'd like to see something that prohibits a crash if the fielder is "in the immediate act" of catching a throw or some such wording. If F2 is picking up a ball on the ground or juggling the ball, the runner should not be able to crash him.
