USA sanction: wrecks

I prefer the USA & NCAA collision rules to HS: dead ball INT out, and ejection if flagrant. NHFS is less flexible - if it's a collision out, the player is also ejected. Some locals still give me a hard time here because I had to toss a 12 year old and a 14 year old in back-to-back weekends playing PGF under Fed rules.

ATR was removed in 2004. Many made it much more difficult than necessary to understand and enforce. It was one of the things I thought the NCAA was correct in keeping. However, they found a way to screw it up.

However, the "crash" exception for simultaneous arrivals wasn't removed until 2014. That said, the training changed much earlier to note that it isn't a crash (for ejection purposes), not necessarily INT, but is OBS if the defender did not have possession of the ball prior to the impediment. Remember, OBS is not a punitive rule, so there is no advantage or disadvantage to either team.
