was pretty fricking sure or hopeful that they were going to change the rule and stop ejecting kids for clearly accidental grazing of an opponent's helmet.
They are saying it will be harder to confirm now
quote:
The second adjustment to the targeting rule deals with the instant replay review. Instant replay officials will be directed to examine all aspects of the play and confirm the foul when all elements of targeting are present. If any element of targeting cannot be confirmed, then the replay official will overturn the targeting foul. There will not be an option for letting the call on the field stand during a targeting review.

They can say all they want, but it's not hard to find some aspect of targeting in any call made on the field. Regardless of what the rule says or doesn't say, I'll believe it won;t be called the same way when I see it. If I was a betting man, I think targeting calls will happen even more often next year. Making the penalties worse is even dumber, though

I see.
So does that mean a defender HAS to hit with his crown for targeting to be confirmed? Because this would eliminate a ton of these horrible calls. Similar to raising the DUI .08 level but making the punishments much more severe.
I wouldn't mind that. But for some reason I don't think that's how it will be applied.
ETA: I think I misinterpreted what they meant.

No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul.

No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)
