Rainmaker, I can't believe you would really never make this call. I would bet if you see it happen your natural instincts would take over and you'd blow your whistle without giving it a second thought.
Yea, probably so. I didn't say I wouldn't, I said I wasn't sure. I think it might depend on how fast the thrower pulled the foot back. You're right about the violation, although the wording of the rule might be interpreted differently from how the case book tells it.

I've been thinking about it since I posted that, and I expect I'd call it without thinking, as you say. I'm just thinking about the Indiana game, and how Indiana got blasted. Seems like a pretty good no-call in this sitch. As long as there's not an eval watching
