Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1633693, member: 1423"] It may seem arbitrary (where the arc is drawn), but it's a good rule. If you don't make it crystal clear for the officials .. they get it wrong in critical situations. The block/charge rule has been changed multiple times ... usually to reduce charge calls. Under the old rule, Defenders (secondary) would creep under drivers and get charge calls. No one wanted that (ask Brandon Triche). Then they changed the rule to prohibit charges after the offensive players "gathered" -- it didn't work .. and they still got it wrong (ask CJ Fair). So now ... it's like charges/blocks for dummies ... here's the line. It's the only thing they understand. [/QUOTE]
