Attackman Pushed Into Crease April 21, 2021 World Games 2014 0 Forum Questions An attackman is illegally pushed into the crease as he shoots. He is in the crease when the ball enters the goal, but he did not leave his feet deliberately. Does the goal count? Is there a time-serving foul? Question File Add new DuBan's Answer: Visual Text Kratz's Answer: Visual Text McCarrick's Answer: Visual Text Riti's Answer: Visual Text Tyma's Answer: Visual Text The goal does not count as the player was in the crease before the goal was scored. A flag should be thrown for the push from behind. The player will serve :30 seconds for a push; if the officials deem the contact excessively violent, they can assess a penalty for an illegal body check from the rear. In addition, if the shooter did not see the illegal body check coming, he was defenseless: under those circumstances, the officials can penalize the player for two or three minutes non-releasable for blindsiding. <strong><em>Note / Reminder: The mechanic for reporting blindsiding is bumping your closed fist into the small of your back when relaying the foul to the table personnel.</em></strong> Answer File Question Answered Yes No
