"Why didn't you post the NCAA/NFHS rulings when I asked back on page 7 in Why Windy WHyy?"

Uh....because the original play was governed by OBR and most all of us knew that. I'm sorry that was confusing to y'all, but reading is a skill lost on youth.

If you go way back...don't hurt yourself with all of he big words...I wroted that if this play happened in a college game, a 2006 batter interference interp was just provided. In fact, months ago, I posted the topic and said that it was about time umpires were provided some latitude, but it fell on deaf ears. I then mentioned that we have wide berth within NFHS rules as well. Contact doesn't even have to occur. If the offensive player does anything to alter the natural playing action of a defender, the umpire may call inteference.

When the OBR rulings were being discussed, many challenged them when they were in black and white. Some of the big dogs stayed on the sidelines because they always do while others knew that this was an easy call to make. I wrote that as well - many, many times. A few members insist on allowing this play to happen without penalty. I can't keep you from sticking your tongue to the flag pole when it's five below. Good luck explaining either action, it'll sound about the same.
