Needless to say, the offensive coach was none too pleased!

Thoughts?
I have to say that if I was standing near F6 when he suddenly went down without being involved in action, I think it's quite possible that I'm yelling, "TIME!" to attend to him.

That said ... I do believe that a case for verbal obstruction could be made here.

Honestly, a pretty dispicable abuse of the other team member's sympathetic nature if you ask me.
