Personal foul?

If it is deadball, the down counts. On liveball you will replay the down. Also the status of the ball matters (whether it is on a running play, loose ball play, etc.)

Bottom line, when you have a foul, make sure you have the team, number, and status of the ball when you report the foul.

Unsportsmanlike fouls are non-contact fouls. If you have contact, like in your case, it is always a personal foul.

Unsportsmanlike fouls - Insulting another players parentage, taunting, foul language, doing an unneeded somersault into the end zone.

Personal fouls - Cheap shots behind the play, face mask, illegal helmet contact, hurdling (Just kidding).

Hurdling is a personal foul.

Unsportsmanlike conduct fouls are an entirely separate entity from personal fouls.

I think the 'just kidding' was in reference to 'most common personal fouls.' Hurdling, while it is a personal foul, is an extremely rare one.

Ah I see that now. Reading is Fundamental (on my part).

Yes, but watching naive referees doing a fake hurdle move instead of the personal foul signal is one you'll never forget.

True: most can't distinguish a fake hurdle from an illegal gallop to save their white hats!
