Hi Bob:

Perhaps you can "shed some light" on the aforementioned as IMO as i already mentioned the "gorilla arm" enforcement is similiar to the old FED rule on checking a runner.

FED obviously changed the "checking of a runner" ruling but my question is

Why did FED change the ruling on checking a runner? Did something happen in a State Championship game or some other "big" type game? or was it simply a matter of many coaches lodging numerous complaints?

It's my gut that the same will become of the "gorilla arm" enforcement

Thanks

Pete Booth
