I understand the "incidental contact", but if a WR is running down field a pass is thrown to him, that he probably will catch and a DB trips him. I think it should be pass interference. TMO
REPLY: The key to the tangling feet thing at any level is that the official needs to determine if the tangling was inadvertent and incidental to the DB's playing of the ball. If so, no foul. If the DB is playing the man and the tangling appears to be premeditated, you can bet that NFL and NCAA officials for sure, and probably HS officials as well will see that and judge it accordingly. I really don't think they would be able to pull this off.
