Hmm....rather than change the penalty, why not change the rule? If they are not wanting the IP called, then allow the leap, the crow-hop and stepping outside the 24 inch lane. Seems to me that would be easier!
Either that, or just eliminate the base award altogether, with no magic number for the base award to kick in.
Gotta admit, though, I like Mike's idea of tossing the coach and forfeiting the game if it continues!
