Anybody see the possibility of a 9-4-3e violation in case (a)? I don't see it with only the facts stated, but some add'l details might invite such a ruling.

No. That rule addresses intentionally contacting the opponent with the leg in the manner of kicking him, kneeing, leg-whipping, etc. It does not address stepping on an opponent.

That said, if I ruled that there was a PF here, I wouldn't need to split hairs between 9-4-3a and 9-4-3g.

Then they must've renumbered. I meant the one about standing on a teammate to gain some advantage.
