Has anyone considered this situation?
Before the new rule change for the 2002/03 season, the penalty for excessively swinging elbows was a T.
Now it is just a violation.
It would seem the defense would have an advantage now.
The defense could swing their elbows excessively and it would only be a violation. Well, if you do not have the ball it forces the offense to take the ball out of bounds.
This forces the offense to make a throw-in.
I know some officials may call a T if there is contact, but if there no contact it is now a violation on the defense, which give the defense an advantage (maybe).
Any thoughts: Am I all wet?
