Elbow to the Nose

[Adam]

Last night, I had a FB game with schools I didn't even know had freshman teams. Middle of the 4th quarter, V down by roughly 30 points. Big V1 gets a defensive rebound and is being challenged by H1. V1 pulls the ball away, and swings his elbow prior to pivoting (he never actually pivoted because of what happened next).

H2 (a guard) comes in from the endline side and tries to get to the ball, but ends up with V1's elbow smashing into his nose. I think he was on the floor before he realized what had hit him.

V coach relaxed a bit when I started my explanation to him with, "By rule."
