Rook --

You are correct, if the ducking is to get the shoulder firmly into the defender, but I'm reading the play a little differently. Perhaps I'm mis-interpreting, but I wonder if Ollie isn't saying that he's ducking BELOW the arm of the defender which is off to the side. In that case, if there's no contact, there's certainly no foul. However, if he means ducking below an arm-bar to get to the defender's body, of course that's PC. Ollie if this second case iw the situation you describe, you could possibly get away with just running into the arm-bar, which is not legal. However, I think you should verify ahead of time that this rule is a valid one in your park.
