This is still a confusion of descriptions. No matter what anyone says about this being a foul, what I am trying to describe is not a foul and the simple fact remains that it is not called a foul in almost 100% of the thousands of refereed games I've either participated in or witnessed. Rulebook definitions won't help you here, because it sounds like you could call every box-out a foul and see how long your career as a referee lasts then.


So we are left with 1 of 2 conclusions:

1) Through a statistical "perfect storm", every game you have refereed or witnessed has been significantly different than the thousands I've played or watched.




See how long my career lasts? It's lasted for 45 freaking years so far. For thousands and thousands of games. At all levels. That includes football too. I've told you why it's a foul. Personally, I really don't give a damn whether you believe me or not. If you think that your playing and watching games has made you such a great rules expert, then why are you wasting your time asking questions here anyway? You don't need us. You obviously already know everything there is to know about the rules. If you don't think it's a foul, great. Don't call it in your driveway games. And also don't bother to come here and waste our time anymore either. It's hardly worth it if you already have all the answers.
