Quote ="Dita's Slot Meter"Genuine request here. Could someone please explain the hip drop tackle technique and what the player is doing deliberately amd illegally when carrying one out?
'"
The tackler grabs onto the player and deliberately lifts their feet in order to try and drag the player to the floor, using their own weight.
The problem is that weight, usually ed around the tackler's hip, drops onto the ball carrier's legs. Or in Knowles' case, the side of the knee.
When the player leaves the ground by picking their feet up, they no longer have control of the tackle, giving the technique a high chance of injury.
