Being 20 yards behind a play which is ending and then knocked on your butt fits this foul. The team-B player could have been just walking up to what would be the succeeding spot when this unnecessary block occurs. |
I referee NCAA rules, and confess to not be a FED expert (although I do try to learn all I can - almost exclusively from here). But doesn't FED have a rule that says all Personal Fouls are enforced as DBF? Or is that just USC?
Also, would you differentiate between a players that was "obviously out of the play" and no longer participating, and one who is running toward the play?
