The definition of blocked ball specifically exempts a coach, but it does not exempt the ODB, unless we interpet the ODB to be someone "engaged in the game" (I take that to mean "entitled to be on the field," like a retired runner.)

I also took that as the basic defination... and did not think blocked ball would apply. Apparently that was incorrect.
I believe with the interpretation thats been given on this thread, there is no case where a ball would hit ODB and would remain live - it is a dead ball... then you would determine int or not.
I have a fed clinic tonight and I'm going to bring it up and get their interpretation/opinion. The UIC is also ASA.
