8 years...good. I respect your opinions but lately you are just disagreeing to disagree. I haven't seen it in 22 years of college....but I have seen it at lower levels. Nobody is acting as if it is a world crisis. What's' the harm in having it also be a violation? I've seen defenders cross line and shooters back up before contact. Your statement that crossing the line always results in contact is just wrong. I agree with you that it is dumb for defense to do it. That's why I'm fine with rule. If somebody does cross line without contact they should still be penalized.
