Advantageous/dangerous contact with standard or platform

[SNIPERBBB]

Dangerous contact is fairly easy to figure out, a player running full out into the platform or standard should be whistled.

But what would make it advantageous contact? Had a few run-ins with the standard this week. In all cases player saved a ball and slowed up before hitting the standard.

After a player runs into the stand, the "danger" part is already done. What are you going to whistle? At this point, if you are to stop the play it would be for an injury, not danger.

Advantageous would be if a player claims or pushes of the stand to play the ball for example.

By rules it's a net fault for dangerous contact in NFHS

This includes a dangerous contact with the floor. I’ve never seen a net fault being called for that either.

c.*There is dangerous contact by a player with the floor/wall cables, *standards or first referee's platform;

I don't believe we should be reading that as dangerous contact with the floor.

[IK13]

I agree. I read it wrong. It’s the floor or wall cables. Incidentally, I’ve only seen floor cables in one school here, and that was about 15 years ago. These did look like bad news waiting to happen.

In any case, after the player has ran into the stand, the “danger” has already happened and at that point you’d be stopping the game for a potential injury. Or perhaps to discourage future occurrences. I’ve personally never called it, nor have I seen it being called.

Generally, as I understand, is using the items listed above during the act of playing the ball, like gaining leverage.
