That is the very point. Intentional collisions are absolutely unacceptable - they must be avoided. Independent of where the ball is, or if the defense has it or anything about the ball...
Collisions should be avoided as reasonable. PERIOD.
Intentionally running into someone is never, never, never acceptable. I don't understand why some of us are not understanding this SIMPLE safety rule.
You must be watching too many collisions on TV baseball games.
Intentional collisions are not allowed.
