4-27-3 Similarly, contact which does not hinder normal off. or def. movements should be considered incidental.

Does diving on a player with the ball meet article 2? The ball was not loose and we did not have equally favorable positions.
Why did we not have equally favorable positions? I hardly think A1's position was favorable for almost anything.

Article 3? Kind of hard to sit up, dribble, shoot, or pass with the defender jumping on top of you.
Agreed -- but it's the held ball that makes those things "kind of hard" -- at least in the version of the play that Rich and I are calling a held ball.
