Don't crawl into your shell. I was just yankin' your chain. Note the at the top of my reply to Chris.

But to make a point, you made it a point to write "B-2 is out of the visual field of A-1 (he doesn't have eyes behind his head)." As I said earlier, that doesn't have anything to do with whether there's a foul or not.

You scenarios just seemed more concerned with whether the plays were a foul or not, than it using a patient whistle.

JMHO
No shell here. If I had a shell, I'd be a soft shell crab. The reason why I put that statement into my play was

Rule 4-27-5 Incidental contact - If, however a player approaches an opponent from behind or from a position from whic he/she has no reasonable chance to play the ball without making contact with the opponent, the responsibility is on the player in the unfavorable position.

What does that rule have to do with your statement regarding whether there's a foul or not? Am I misinterpreting it?
