But being stuck on a lip, I wouldn't call that entanglement. But I haven't gone through referee training so I might be wrong on what the FIRST definition of entanglement is, and if i am, then I apologize, but I liked the hit and the strategy from a defensive standpoint(still citing that the goal is considered in bounds)
Entanglement refers to the state of being entangled.

Entangled can be defined as: to make tangled; ensnarl; intertwine

I would say that according to the above definitions, Thrust was entangled in the goal, with no way of getting out.

As a person coming from a driver's background, I look at the game in a certain way. I look at pushing 1501 into the goal as an easy way to remove them from the match, because I know that they cannot get out of the goal, because I saw that they cannot even navigate the ramp going up to the goal. I would say that most people were aware of this when playing defense against Thrust.
