"§9.2.1.1 – Windup and follow through associated with normal shooting motion that
extends above the height of the opponent’s shoulders is not subject to a high sticking
penalty. Wild swings or blind backhanded swings that extend far behind a player are not considered “normal shooting motion” and will be subject to a high sticking penalty at the
referee’s discretion according to proximity of other players."
Couple of questions:
1) 'associated' by whom/how many people? What's 'normal shooting action'?
2) what's the definition 'wild swing'.
3) what's the definition of 'far' (in this context)?

Seems like such a debatable rule!
