Video play
|
It was a HS game in Texas. Perfectly legal.
|
Canadian Ruling
Legal in the Great White North.

OMG, it is still alive!
Perfectly legal under NCAA rules, and technically illegal under NFHS rules. IOW, unless the person being hurdled…er…I mean “jumped over” is standing completely upright and gets plowed into by the “jumper” (actually, any solid contact will do), hold your flag. Remember that there is absolutely no advantage gained for the runner to jump over a defender, and safety isn’t an issue unless somebody gets hurt. |
Must be a net problem as the video does not come up.
Is this then by any chance this same play? http://forum.officiating.com/showthr...light=hurdling |

And the defender in the posted video was clearly standing pretty much upright. |

That's definitely a Hurdle, but is it illegal??
Took me a bit to find it, but I did. Rule 9-4-3d..... "No player or nonplayer shall hurdle an opponent." 15 yards... Personal Foul.(S38) I don't think you can argue that the video doesn't show a "Hurdle". |
Bob,
I actually agree with you and would have considered this a hurdle IAW 9-4-3d. This has been discussed before and there were some that felt that hurdling shouldn't be called unless there is contact, etc. I should have used the ;) smilie to let posters know that I was speaking with tongue firmly planted in cheek. |
