He did not jump through a gap. There was no gap. He jumped OVER the two lines, landed on the ground and then jumped again and blocked the kick.Jeremy517":2fi0ohbk said:Uncle Si":2fi0ohbk said:Jeremy517":2fi0ohbk said:Uncle Si":2fi0ohbk said:did he gain height?
He did it to jump through the gap, which is the second no-no listed in the rule.
If he used his hands as leverage. But he didnt gain height, and he didnt gain acceleration. Maybe balance.
The gain height part is irrelevant. Here's the rule, reformatted to make it easier to read:
Placing a hand or hands on a teammate or opponent:
(A) to gain additional height to block or attempt to block an opponent’s kick or apparent kick
OR
(B) in an attempt to jump through a gap to block an opponent’s kick or apparent kick.
Not guilty of A, guilty of B.
