2012 NFHS Test question
« on: February 02, 2013, 09:44:42 AM »
95. After completing the catch, receiver A12’s momentum carries him into B’s team box, where nonplayer B44 pushes A12 into a bench. What is the ruling?

The answer key said it's 15 yards and a DQ.

My question is: why is it an automatic DQ?

Probably assuming the hit was flagrant since it was a non-player deep in the bench and more than just a slight push.  Bad test question though.

Maybe a bad test question, but, for once, a real-life play situation that could easily happen in any game.

I guess that would be construed as "intent to injure".

I would interpret it more to be major league, flagrant, unsportsmanlike conduct.

It is a Case Book play and it is in the "Fighting/Not Fighting Section." I agree with previous replies that it should be considered flagrant.

9.4.1 SITUATION D: After completing the catch, receiver A12's momentum carries him into B's team box, where nonplayer B44 pushes A12 into a bench. RULING: Nonplayer B44 is disqualified and a 15-yard penalty is assessed from the succeeding spot.
