Illegal touching
« on: June 20, 2023, 06:37:20 AM »
Even with the rule 10 changes, should illegal touching be a spot foul behind the LOS or a previous spot enforcement?

Thanks

Illegal touching is in 10-4-2b for loose ball plays described in 10-3-1, it's  enforced from previous spot which hasn't changed.

But 10-4-2b is the same as last year (no shading on the rule).  Last year Illegal touching was enforced all but one at the spot of the foul.

I thought with new changes all spot fouls are now listed in 10-4-4?

I don't have the 2023 rulebooks yet, but the Summary of Penalties chart in Reddings indicates that Illegal Touching has changed to previous spot; the PS section being "grayed".  Previously it was ABO but honestly, I think this one got screwed up as previous spot a lot.

In 2006, we (Maine) ran an experimental rule reducing OPI w/LOD to IR as this often was the case of a wide-out unintentionally lining up on the LOS and covering the TE. If the TE ran a pass pattern and touched a forward pass it was OPI. I felt it was an over kill. There was also a proposal on the docket to turn a forward pass that is grabbed/muffed/ batted by an IR behind LOS as illegal touching instead of IFP. We compromised (sorta' like we see every day in politics  :P ) and made both illegal touching. Being a loose ball play, with previous spot enforcement, if the IR was beyond LOS the enforcement was previous spot. If the IR was behind the LOS , the spot of the foul would become the enforcement spot under the 'all-but-one'.

The list of exceptions do not list illegal touching. I assume that means the enforcement spot to be the previous spot.

So am I to assume that all-but-one is gone?

About a week ago, I think.

Illegal touching has always been ABO. Basic spot is previous spot, foul behind basic spot enforced from spot of foul.

The 'All-But-One' is done. The victim of our rule change, as a foul by A behind the LOS doesn't fit as the enforcement spot is previous spot. It should be fun teaching the new laundry list we now have.

Understand. I was speaking in past tense. Probably should have said “used to be.”  I really hate that ABO is gone. Sure made things simple.

Hey Ralph, any insight on Why, ABO was eliminated?  It didn't seem to have been broken, nor needed fixing.
