Don't forget "direction".
Yes, good point. Thanks Mark. Seems to me rule has changed over the last 5 years. I seem to remember 1 year ('99?)NFHS wanted us to call hand checking very tight. Am I right? Personally, I'd like to see hand checking eliminated all together. Good defense is played mostly with the feet.
