The advice of "never touch a player" is not always appropriate. If I see a kid stomping a defenseless kids' head MMA Pride style - I defending the helpless. A kid gets his head rammed into that wall and goes down... go ahead an back away if you dare?
"Never touch a player" is an overstatement.
"Extreme caution and in rare instances"; is maybe more appropriate?
the day you see a kid stomping the head of another "MMA Pride style" I'll recommend you go ahead and step in.

If a kid pulls out a gun on the court and I have a chance to stop him, I'll go ahead and tackle him. But I'm not going to use the sasquatch play as a basis of advice for fights that occur far more regularly.
