I'm not disagreeing, I'm seeking clarification. Like CoachJM, I find the wording in 8-4-2b confusing, especially when combined with Kyle McNeely's (?) interp of many years ago on one of these sites that contact was required.

I do know that NCAA changed the rule this year so contact / alteration is required, but it was clear at the clinic that any benefit of the doubt went to the fielder. In fact, one example was shown in which I could not see any contact / alteration, but they wanted it called a violation.

Exactly Bob, the more they try and clarify the more confusing it gets.

Perfect example the test question from FED - an illegal slide is always supposed to be penalized - so now if FED saying they don't want it penalized?

Sounds like another messed up test question.

Thanks
