Leg Tap
Are you calling this "driveby leg tap" if A) You had not previously warned or B) You had warned this player

To me, there is no way to see the play from the angle we are presented. It certainly didn't look like much the official would easily have the best angle on the play.

The ONLY way that we would ever know for sure what happened on any play like this would be to ask the calling official.

Warning a player not to foul???? Huh??? :confused:
|
Obvious by the way that he reports the foul he is motivated in calling it. Whether there has been a warning is irrelevant--he has seen it before, maybe even in this game, and is putting a stop to it.
Like the little tummy poke that has been popular in the past--it has absolutely nothing to do with the game. The warning I give is to the captain. I tell him to cut it out because if I call it, it will be intentional. |

I don't warn kids not to foul. I don't work with anyone that I have heard warn someone not to foul. If he fouls, call it. If it's not a foul, don't call it. |

In this particular case, the "warning" would be precisely calling a foul (assuming, of course, that the contact is a real one and not just a quick dusting). Ciao |

"Contact which does not hinder the opponent from participating in normal defensive or offensive movements should be considered incidental." Frankly, eg, this also contradicts your post. By this rule, contact which does not create an advantage or disadvantage is, by definition, incidental. So, in the case of the shooter getting his leg tapped, it seems as if it's by rule incidental and therefore not a foul. |

I believe this applies also to Fed's view of the game. Ciao |
