Riddle me this

My guess is that you're implying that A would profit by intentionally fumbling after the HC. While that's true, do you think a HS player is going to have the presence of mind to do that in the heat of battle? And even if he does, suppose there's no foul called on the play?

The judgment is even more complex: not only would the runner need to realize that the tackle was a HCT, and to perceive a flag, but he would need to know that that flag was for THAT foul (and not for a hold on his guys). THEN fumbling on purpose could make sense.

Teaching all that is not tactically sound.
