This article is bs. How are the coaches and fans interviewed making valid points when they are using terms such as "hopping"? I suprised they didn't talk about "over the back" not being called enough. The least they can do is be informed about the rules before they get critical with officials.

By the photos provided, if you look closely especially at the last photo,I think this one is the controversial hopping and flopping mechanic.

You look great in those pictures Mark! It is always fun when you get asked to demonstrate something at a camp isn't it.
