I don't like the rule. I've had maybe 2 or 3 fouls on this during this year and we've passed on another 4 or 5. But recently in a varsity game, the defender pulled the runner down by the shirt -- not the collar but the middle back of the shirt -- and did the 'Roy Williams underneath the back of the legs' technique. To me, this was a more dangerous tackle than any horse collar but it didn't meet the requirement of the rule and I didn't rule it otherwise a personal foul, so it wasn't called.
