Bull in the Ring Not heard that in a long time. Back in the day we had to "play" bull in the ring anytime someone messed up in practice. Drill consists of one player in the middle of the circle or ring, coach points out someone in the ring to fly in and hit the bull in the ring (who was usually the player that messed up to begin with). One player after another until the entire team has unloaded on the player in the ring. Tough stuff if you were the bull. Its a good idea to not have it, but when did this drill become illegal?
