Cut blocking isn’t illegal because it’s no big deal. It’s meant to slow down the defender as opposed to engaging in the full block. Because of the style of play with Navy and Army, chop blocks happen more often when double teaming on blocks.

This is nothing new. It’s only being discussed because of Corwin Brown getting mad about one random personal foul play in 2009. But that was just a regular flagrant personal foul; it had nothing to do with Navy’s play offensively.

On the other hand I don’t see Kelly as a complainer of false pretenses and would argue that there was more of a problem with Navy then was ever led to after the game, “we just got beat” I think that was similar to the quote, nevertheless it does happen and I think the hard part to understand is the whole legality issue, it’s not something we are tuned into like face masking or blocks in the back and If maybe we saw some examples of the exact illegal block we may see more than we think is happening, Trenches are tough.
