Why is it not normally called?
Is it because it rarely happens, or because referees fail to penalize it to keep the game flowing, or some other reason?
In general the player on their feet has the rights, so going off you feet to prevent a player on their feet playing the ball is dubious.
In open play you can do it, provided you play the ball immediately.
well wood certainly played it immediately. And I honestly don;t recall it being pinged in 40 years of watching etc.
all he did was tidy up a ball on the floor and certainly didnt prevent it coming out - it has already been called "ball out". Wood didn't prevent a blue player from playing it any more than he would have done had the ball been spilled (backwards!) in the centres 20 meters away.

I actually penalised a player yesterday for this.
had you called ball out first?
