Off the ball checking was discussed in Geneva: if you ask some old timers they reckon it's never been cool... you're only meant to check the ball carrier.
Now we're at the point where you need to be able to check blocking players (in my opinion) and many young guns have perhaps never felt that a check off the ball was a dick move.
It's never been ruled about, so yeah: checks off the ball are cool (I guess)?
In other news: T-boning has never been a rule either (but is now covered under initiating bike-on-bike contact).
