Yeah, that confirms the direction we had been given, and I certainly accept that. The only trouble is that it came from the CFO West (I.e., Walt Anderson), and wasn’t issued by Redding. Yes, they reference that the directive was coordinated with Redding, and I completely believe that. Unfortunately, it may not have been distributed outside the CFO West, so not everybody working NCAA rules would have necessarily received the directive. I was still in FBS - but no longer a part of the CFO West - at the time. But our coordinator had direct ties with the CFO West (since we had been an original member conference) and we almost always got what they got, so, I certainly remember this directive. I probably had that directive in print at one time, but canned a lot of that stuff when I retired. Thankfully, I kept all official communications from CFO / Redding.
Bottom line, it doesn’t require a full pull-down to the ground for a HCT foul, but it does take a pull-down. I didn’t see a pull-down in the action of the subject down.
