question on rule

[jentzd]

ok ok. i've only started researching this problem 6 weeks ago, but i've read about 6-8 rulebooks all the way though(from the internet).

I can't actually speak for EVERY rulebook, just the 6-8 I've read.

I would - however - LOVE to read every rule book. I have only found 6-8 rulebooks on the internet however, NFHS not being one of them.

Here is one of the more interesting posts I've found - from NCAA men's.

Reading between the lines on this memorandum lends me to believe that while offensive player backing in is illegal, and not called - defensive players using equal force to keep them physically from coming in is OK, as how can there be a foul on an action that was a response to a foul to begin with? But again, this is interpretation, never stated explicitly in an actual rulebook.
