I tried to think of examples in other sports, similar to this Volzing rule.
The closest I could come was the goaltending rule in basketball. But the significant different is that if you touch a ball in 'the cylinder', it's goaltending. None of this trying to interpret whether it was inadvertent or the player was trying to 'help the ball go in the basket' (offensive goaltending), or 'keep the ball from going in the basket' (defensive goaltending). If you touch the ball in the cylinder, you've violated the rule. Simple. If you want a volzing rule, make it all-encompassing, or else take out the rule entirely. I lean toward the latter, especially with the new peg and crossbar specs. RT
