Many occurrences of USC take place well out of bounds, and relating these to a position on the field, although a simple geometry exercise, gets to be silly.
I'm talking about a USC foul by one of the 22 players on the field during a live ball.

Understand, I'm looking for ways to stop unsporting behavior that occurs DURING the play. It's no more difficult to penalize than any other ABO foul.
