Lowering the shoulder

You and WWCFOA43 both need to go back and re-read what I wrote. I was talking about shoulder-to-torso contact only. O-N-L-Y!!!! As I stated in another thread, a push-off with a dribbler's arm has got nothing at all to do with LGP. [/B]

I read it fine. I was using the example of arm contact to illustrate a situation which we may wish to treat similarly.

As I said, depending on the situation and the actions of the offensive player, I can see situations where shoulder to torso contact could be PC even without LGP. One could argue that if the shoulder was not lowered that the defender would have more time to get into LGP. One could also argue that the danger to players of this action constitutes making it illegal independent of LGP.
