IBB?
« on: September 20, 2013, 09:49:10 AM »
Team A's untouched scrimmage kick is bouncing toward B's G/L. A33 in hot pursuit, pushes B28 in the back above the waist at the B-5 and recovers the kick at the B-2.

Illegal block in the back. 9-3-3-c-Exception 3 only applies to players who are *legally* attempting to recover a ball. In this case the scrimmage kick has crossed the NZ and has not been touched by Team B, so Team A may not yet legally recover it, and the exception does not apply. Enforce ten yards from the previous spot, or Team B may elect to enforce it from where the dead ball belongs to B, 1/10 @ B-12.

Unless you determine B28 is standing in a position to prevent a team A player from getting to the ball (can't really call this blocking) or the contact is worth of a personal foul, I would have a flag here.  IBB is an advantage/disadvantage foul and not a safety foul.  I would more likely expect this to be PF or nothing.
