Shirt pulling

This is my number one pet peeve now. I saw this during a tournament where my son played this past weekend. It was up in Maryland and there was a mix of teams from Maryland, DC and Virginia. It seemed that most of the teams from Maryland used this tactic to balance out the lack of speed in terms of defenders keeping up with attackers. I saw one breakaway that the attacker basically got dragged back by a well employed shirt pull and it just reminded me how unfair and hard to detect some of that is. This is my first resolution for 2010, to catch and card more of that. And I want to make sure that my ARs see that. Easier said than done, but at least I am going to give it a try.
