Friend, surely you understand that I was explaining why I think that no coach would have a problem with me backing his player up a step. I would, in no circumstance, make a decision based upon making any player more effective.

I apologize if I have been unclear. I thought it was obvious.

If you see an unsporting act like this and you feel it necessary, penalize it. I would hope that you would also penalize other unsporting acts in the same manner.

I do not consider backing the player up a step as penalizing him. It is merely good game control in my opinion.
I am working a HS varsity game tonight in Hot Springs with two men I've never met. I'll discuss this situation with them and report back, if anyone is interested what they say.
