more state question

I know several years ago, I was officiating a team from Canada (here in the states). We had to remind the players that they could not do that. After a couple games the incidents diminshed.

Also We as officials had to remember that the teams from Canada were used to leaving the ball on the ground at the spot of the violation and they were not being rude or disrespectful on not handing it to us.
