I explain what helping the runner means and highlight three direct actions that make it illegal. I also differentiate between helping the runner and pushing or ramming the pile. Additionally, I cover the referee's signal for helping the runner and emphasize that it is still illegal at the high school level. The video includes examples of illegal plays and penalties associated with helping the runner. It is crucial for all stakeholders, including officials, to remove illegal helping the runner tactics from high school games."}
