Got it. Am I correct that its for safety purposes? The thought being that having a player slide when he doesn't need to increases his chance of being injured?

How do you know the slide was a direct result of the deke? Players slide all the time when there's no play on them.

not that this has any bearing on its legality


Non-verbal, non-fake-tag decoys are legal in FED, in the Real World (tm).

If you meant that F4 faked a tag, you are right, it is illegal. If you meant that F4 pretended to catch the ball only, then you would be wrong, because that is not illegal.

Coaches and Managers, and I would like this changed. I'm tired of dealing with these fakes. They come onto the field acting like they know what they are doing when the really don't have clue one.

I don't follow. What are they acting like they know? Legal vs illegal?

It went right over it. I'm guessing it was a "shot" that I didn't catch.
