    Suppose I am sprinting in a straight line. If a defender starts sprinting towards the same point as me so that we would collide if we both kept sprinting but I still have time to avert the collision, my understanding is that this is not a foul because no contact has occurred unless it is dangerous play. Is this correct? Do the rules effectively force us to play a game of chicken until the last moment in which contact or dangerous play can be averted?
