Judgement call. NFHS rule 10-6-1 says that the defender can't bend his body into other than a normal position. The FED has clarified that statement before by saying that if the defender widens his stance, and subsequently contact is made outside of the
normal frame of his body stance, the call should be on the defender.
You have to judge yourself
if the defender assumed other than a normal stance
and if the contact also occurred outside of that normal stance. Iow, it's a "haveta be there" call.
