In circumstances, however, where we're defending from behind their finish line and, as I suspect many teams will, they've released the ball to complete the hurdle -- that team no longer satisfies the conditions of HURDLING -- and, moreso, we are really doing nothing more than HERDING at a height of 7 feet. I can't imagine how a wall, sitting innocently on one side of the overpass and bouncing balls away, is doing anything wrong.
You did just wake up. You're IMPEDING across the entire track and have possibly exceeded the 80" cylinder. You have six seconds from the first "let me through" tap before the ref flags start coming out. (There is also the possibility of high contact penalties.)

Assuming you sat there all match, that's 120/6-1=19 possible for impeding, plus 1*#high contact, plus 1 for the 80", maybe including a disable and/or DQ. 20 penalties minimum at 10 points apiece=200 penalty points minimum, not counting high contact.

The purpose of the above math is to help ensure that no one tries this at home or at regionals.
