I still call the foul but I get the uhoh feeling everytime I do because i know as a crew we are passing on the exact same action/ even more intense contact on boxouts inside where kids are wanting to battle.
Just on observation not an attempt to hi-jack the thread.

That's true.
I guess it's determining displacement that's the issue. In the situation I provide, it's obvious displacement as the player is knocked to the floor. But when nobody is clearly knocked out of position, it's tough to call.
And I agree with what j51969 said... we should give extra care to defenseless players. Kind of like in football, where calls regarding a defenseless player are much more evident.
