the problem with a couple posts here is the confusion between a chop block and BBW. JRut is trying to point out that a Chop Block by definition is illegal period. There are opportunities to Block Below the Waist, which are legal at times and situations, but by definition a Chop Block always involves 2 players and is always illegal....
I know a chop block is never legal, but Rut made it sound like a BBW was legal as long as the ball was in the FBZ, which is not true. I'm sure Rut didn't mean it that way, and knew the rule, but it may have been confusing to others. That is the only reason why I pointed it out. I know Rut knows his stuff pretty good, just wanted to clear up possible confusion.
