The OP said the player was pulling THE PILE. I assumed this meant "not the runner". The rule you describe makes it illegal to pull the teammate IN POSSESSION OF A LIVE BALL... but not just some random player in the pile.

red #39 is pulling the pile!
It is not illegal because he is on defense, but he is pulling the pile! There should be a flag on this play though and most of you would not throw it. More than one A player is pushing the pile and helping the runner. That is the spirit of the rule.

If you're on offense, who are you allowed to pull? Some player away from the play, OK. We had a goofy play in touch football where receivers interlaced elbows and did a 360 before separating...that would be legal. But who in cx with a pile could you legally pull on? You can't use your hands & arms to interlock in interference for the runner, and you can't pull a defender away from the runner -- or towards the runner, for that matter. Who does that leave?

#2 and 32 are directly contacting the runner in the video I posted.
Like I said most officials won't call it. I watched the OHSAA state finals 2 years ago and saw it 5 times in one game where the FB came up and pushed the QB toward the goal line. No call, the next year I believe it was a POE.

The big surge came from those not in direct contact but 32 and 2 both had a hand on the runner, pushing. that is all the rule says, not how hard.

And the Pac-10 officials didn't have the stones to call the Bush Push:
USC Steals One At South Bend! (2005) - YouTube Indeed, I've yet to see it called at the college level. If they won't call it when it is that clear and blatant, why would they call it on a pile? |

The rule says you can't push THE RUNNER. (Like Reggie Bush was pushed in the ND-USC game a few years back). Pushing the pile is NOTHING. You can't get on the ballcarrier and just push him.

I see what you see, but you might want to reread the exact words of the rule. This (your video) is not illegal either.
