Thanks Jurassic Ref. You've pretty much convinced me.


There is however one small point that still bothers me:

Rule 4-42-5- "The offensive player WHETHER ON THE FLOOR OR AIRBORNE MAY NOT CLEAR OUT OR CAUSE CONTACT WITHIN THE DEFENDER'S VERTICAL PLANE WHICH IS A FOUL."



The word "cause" is what bothers me. Is the offensive player's simply being in the opponents vertical plane enough to put the "cause" of ANY ensuing contact whatsoever within the vertical plane squarely on the offensive player?

Thanks,
Andrew
