AR 10-2-5 / Dead Ball Fouls

I. After the ball becomes dead, 2 opponents have a verbal exchange and start pushing each
other.
RULING: The officials shall separate the 2 players and throw a penalty marker for illegal contact on both. Even when the penalties are offsetting (R 10-2-5) it will show that the officials will not
tolerate such behavior. If the players start a fight then both shall be disqualified.
NOTE: If one player is hitting the opponent first and then the second player is striking back, the
fouls are not offsetting and have to be administered in order including half the distance
enforcement.
