So, "Wide Stance" = "Extending..."

Rule 10: A player shall not hold, push, charge, trip or impede the progress

bending his/her body into other than a normal position;
You are suggesting, on the basis of 4-23-1, that I consider the defender standing with an extra wide stance (feet farther than shoulder width apart) a player who "extends...a leg into the path of an opponent".
I can buy that. And by rule I think I can back that.
I was looking for somewhere where it specified "shoulder width apart" or "within his vertical plane", but can't find anything like that. Your reference seems to say the same thing, however. "Wide stance" = "Extending...".
Thanx!
