You asked for opinions at the bottom of your first post,BossRef.Could you tell me exactly why you think that your "opinion" is now right,and everybody else that responded contrary to your "opinion" is wrong?[/B]

Hawks Coach,there is my exact statement from the earlier post.I wondered why EVERYBODY that responded whose opinion was different than his was wrong.I then gave MY opinion,which was that I agreed with mick and MN3.I don't have a problem at all with the other posts,and I never commented at all on them.To be quite honest,if a T were called,it probably could be backed up using language in the rulebook concerning unsportsmanlike acts.

Seems to me like the offense is illegally using his legs. Call the kick on him. Or give him a T for unsportsman like acts. When the ball is in the hands, the defense can go for it, but if it is between the legs, how is the defense going to get it? Kick at it, dive for it, or bend all the way down which takes them out of a good defensive position. I think the offense should be penalized for this, not the defense.
