Kids sometimes begin falling early because there's a bit of fear in them. That's normal and at times it can happen to any kid. I agree with you that it isn't T worthy. T worthy needs to be really bad.. What i wanted to mention is that falling down early doesn't protect the defender, in my opinion. They may be doing it to protect themselves but it makes it worse, imo. If a player takes the contact on the chest, he can bounce off and away. The player who begins falling early, is now on his way down to the floor. The offensive player is now going to land on top of him and a good chance defender's head is going to bounce on the floor. (been there done that, which should explain some of my posts….) I'd much rather take them the right way--waiting for solid contact. bouncing away. That's the way ive always coached it and the way everyone does coach it. Sometimes you do start falling early, it happens. thx |

Who moves towards who? That is all I want to know. If the defender isn't moving towards the opponent, they have not violated the rules of LGP and I have nothing. The fact that B is leaving a spot legally obtained doesn't make them illegal.

Contact bodies on the floor I'm going to have a whistle, and I'm not going to be the first official to call a PC foul here.

Calling this a block is simply telling B that have to stand in there and take it despite of what the rules say.

Interesting. Now we are really off topic but a lot of schools around here will bring in a gymnastics coach or martial arts instructor to work on controlled falls. The theory being that controlling the direction and impact of energy is safer for potential brain injury than trying to brace and absorb energy while controlling head.

But in general, I believe it is safer to stand in and get hit. Take care. Thx |
