If you push them into your ball to cause possession, you get a foul. A G14 causing a G12. Both are 50 pt technical fouls. This defensive move may require two robots to pry the defender away from their ball. Like a trap in Basketball. I hope they let this play out.
As others mentioned above, this was the sort of scenario I envisioned would result in a "trapping" possession call. Will be interesting to see if this scenario is called the same from regional to regional and week to week
