The wording of G11 is important; BLUE's goal in this scenario has to be to draw the foul. The specific phrasing of the blue box seems to suggest that BLUE would get a G11 if they hunt down RED for the sake of contact in the last 20 seconds. Ultimately, whether G11 or G28 should be called is at the discretion of the REFEREES, as all potential G11 cases are. If RED decides to park in front of the BATTER (which is the proper spelling, not sure why this whole thread decided to go with BATTEN), and BLUE very carefully attempts to drive around RED to make their climb but ultimately bumps RED anyway, I don't see how you could call a G11 instead of a G28. Similarly, if BLUE attempts to shove RED out of the way, that would definitely be a G11, as I interpret it.
However, it is evident to me that the manual doesn't make this as clear as it could; this usually ends up being the case with subjective rules. A Q&A submission should definitely clear things up.
