Ignore or enforce as dead ball fouls? Technically the false start makes the ball dead, not the whistle, so by the book any foul that occurs after the ball is dead is a dead ball foul. In the case of the block in the back, I don't see a problem with ignoring it unless it was vicious. The examples I have added, I'd be inclined to enforce those as dead ball fouls.

Interesting question Jason. I'd be hard pressed to enforce any contact foul, but may enforce a USC. The problem is, if you enforce any other foul, it would have to be enforced as a DB foul and that is pretty harsh considering the play should not have occured. Now a USC could have occured at any time with or without a play, so that is my rationale. I'm interested in what others have to say regarding your twist.

BTW Jason, are you working this board more cuz McGriffs is so spammed up?
