I'm not ignoring it. The casebook example you cite is a K player obstructing R's path to the ball. That's the context in which the "unmolested opportunity" statement is made. Our state rules...

They are not treated as dead ball fouls and you won't that language anywhere in the rules. They are enforced from the succeeding spot. The difference is subtle, and relevant only in a play like this.

The problem is that's not the case, at least in PA. The sex offender registry does not include all persons convicted of sex offenses, in fact, it includes only a small minority. That's because it's...

wanja,

Thanks. ADs are required to go to the site you provided and check to be sure that that the clearance the official provided was indeed a "no record" report. A report could be forged. Again,...

No, It's simpler than that. You request the clearances and the clearances are provided to you. You are either cleared or you are not. For example, you request the FBI criminal record check. The FBI...

Our most recent mechanics have no preliminary signal on the routine dead ball fouls -- false start, encroachment, delay, pretty much anything except USC and PF. On DB fouls I don't even talk to the...

Guys,

This play has been around for a couple of years. The confusion is a consequence of a rule change. Compare the 2008 and 2007 rule books. In 2007, PSK also included the provision that if K was...

You're at the point where it's no longer a blur out there. You're seeing fouls, but you're coming into the play late. What I mean by that is generally you're seeing the end of the foul. You see an...

Ok, so how exactly does the visiting coach get the photographer for the home team's local newspaper off his sideline? By force? Can you say lawsuit?

bossman,

Right on both counts. It's not PSK, so if K accepts the penalty it's previous spot. If for some reason K declines the penalty, R will get the ball at the spot of first touching. This is...
