You know better too. Team and player control don't end "as soon as B1 blocked the ball," instead they both end when the ball is in flight after being released by A1 on the try. That's what it says in 4-12-3(a).
Now as for the real debate, yes, I am basing my argument on it being possible, but not necessary, for there to be defensive players when neither team has team control. You are basing yours on the belief that there cannot be defensive players unless one team has team control. We disagree.
BTW you still haven't answered my question about whether you consider B1, the shotblocker, a defensive player after A1 releases the try for goal.
There is no team control at this time, but he certainly looks like he's playing defense to me.  |
OK. Now what difference does that make anyway re: the final call? It really don't make no nevermind when player and team control ended. The only
fact needed to make the final call that is relevant is that player and team control did end.
Cite some rules to back up your argument that a violation does not occur on the play you posted.
If there is no player or team control, there are
NO defenders until someone re-establishes player and team control. Is that statement plain enough for you.
