Nevada, not all contact is a foul. You know that. If two players just collide, and one player goes OOB as a result of that collision, then you have a player who is not OOB for an unauthorized reason. The only thing governing that player's action now is the rules requisite that he now must return in-bounds asap. If he does so, then there is no call to be made.

That's what I was thinking also, as much as its tried, there is no way that every situation can be covered by rule.

We just have to have officials that use good judgement.

Thanks for the help
David
