All fair points. I understand the comments about bringing this on myself, but don't agree, but I will leave that there because I think reasonable minds can differ on that...
So let's change the facts a bit to the above quote. What if I (or you) contact a player who might otherwise collide with you (live or dead ball) and he turns around and pushes you away and yells "get your hands off me"....
Q1- if the ball is live or in play, what, if anything do you do? Anybody whacking here?
Q1(a) are you whacking if he has been a PIA during the game? How about if not?
Q2- if the ball is dead or not in play say you are reporting a time out, turn and a player is about to run you over getting to the huddle and you grab him to avoid a collision and he pushes you away and yells "get your hands off me"...? anybody whacking here?
I'm not saying I would in either case, but the discussion is interesting. A lot of things go into that decision on how to react....
