NISOA Rule 13 Section 3.L states: Charging illegally when ball is not w/in
playing distance, unless being obstructed. – is an IFK offense. Is this
not a push, which would require a DFK restart? A.R. 175 goes on to explain
what is meant by an illegal charge, but I still don’t understand the
difference in application. I think it was Shakespeare who claimed “a push
by any other name is still a push – unless done shoulder to shoulder, w/ in
playing distance of the ball, upright, w/ at least 1 foot on the ground, w/
ball in play.”
