BITSY - valid points and suggestions. Thanks.

Carldog - I don't know how I would handle that in a woman's / girls game. I believe the action I'm talking about has a lot to do with location. I.E. the groin area for men / boys is a...uh...sensitive area. Now, with some expert advice from a woman, I may feel the same way about this situation in a woman's / girls game.

I'll tell you this, if a girl is doing this same type action towards another girls chest area, I'd view it the same, as I believe this area is more sensitive on a female than on a male. If any player was doing it towards another player's face, I'd view it the same.

I view the action as faking a hit...in an area that would cause discomfort / pain...and I think it's unsporting. If other's don't think it's unsporting, that's fine. I guess it's like other situations where officials choose to draw different lines. For example, after a call, a player bounces the ball with great force. Or, someone sees that as a player slamming the ball in disgust. Officials may handle that situation differently.

I'm not trying to change anyones view or opinion on this. I'm just stating what I think...and learning a little along the way.
