Can anyone tell me that if a defender plays the receiver, not the ball, when needs to happen to become pass interference?

FED Rules only.
In FED rules, you have to have contact of some kind to have a DPI or OPI call. The only time you do not have to have contact is when a player is face guarding. I am not sure what you mean by "playing the defender and not the ball." A defender can always "play the defender" as long as he does not contact make contact with that receiver before the ball arrives or he is making an honest attempt at the ball.
Not sure that answers your question, but I tried. ;) Peace |
Rut,
Thanks. Another question. If the defender is facing the receiver and the receiver slows up to make an attempt to catch the ball, and the defender does not make an attempt to catch or bat the ball if there is contact, is it DPI? (sorry so long) |
If he interferes with the opportunity to make the catch, then yes, DPI.

Thanks Guy's! I am working with a local coach who has brought this up. I just wanted to see if I was correct in what I have read about this. Good luck this weekend!

You are correct that in the NCAA, faceguarding is legal.
|
Well, we all agree that you do not have to have contact to call PI.
But, what if you had deliberate PI? 15 yards + auto 1st Down plus another 15 yards for being deliberate PI Try to explain that to a coach |

A1 or B1 is in position where he might catch or intercept a forward pass beyond the NZ. An opponent, who is in the vincinity, waves his arms to block the vision of the potential reciever or interceptor. <b>RULING:</b> Hindering an opponent's vision without making an attempt to catch, intercept or bat the ball, is PI even though no contact was made. This is the only situation in which there may be PI without contact. Right out the casebook. Peace |

Oh, so true
PSU that's a good synopsis of events as they unfold.
|
If a player raises his hands and hinders the vision of the receiver, it is face guarding and pass interference. If the defender is just on the field and a low pass comes towards the area and his body blocks the receiver's vision, then no foul. rut has been right all along.
