Defense holding/
I am a coach in Illinois for youth football. We use IHSA rules. My question is.... You have one receiver.... after said receiver is down field (15 yards) he is tackled from behind.
The pass is not yet in the air, so it can not be pass interferance... what should the call be or is there even a call to be made? Can somebody help with this answer? |

Canadian Ruling
Quote:
I would flag as holding. However, another proper call is Illegal Contact on an Eligible Receiver. In Canada, the penalties for Holding and Illegal Contact are the same, so it doesn't matter what you call. However, I believe that Holding better describes the act that caused the foul. Illegal Contact often describes bumping a receiver off of his chosen path.

You could conceivably call it illegal contact with a receiver under 9-2-3d, but the penalty is the same, the foul in this case (being tackled) is really holding, and it's harder to explain to coaches.
