I have not heard one casebook ruling or NF interpretation that fits this play. All I have heard is opinions. Since there are no rulings or interpretations that go along with this, I am sticking to my point of view. Now if you feel something else should be done, you will have to answer to your people about it. It is not my job to tell you what to do in your games. I know what I am going to do and I feel I am standing on the correct ruling with the spirit of the rules.

I wish you all a great season.

Peace
And you wouldn't be wrong in doing it that way. As you said, there is no clear-cut interpretation pointing one way or the other in this case. Was it a missed violation, or a mis-applied rule? The fun aspect of this forum is, at least for me, is it forces me to understand rules and definitions better, so that if some strange play happens in the middle of January, I would have some basis for making a ruling one way or another, and not just flipping a coin and guessing.

And I hope you have a good season as well.

Just don't be wearing any of those Cardinal jerseys in my presence, ok?
