But technically the only thing wrong with it was mannering held a player.
One way to think about it is that it's a play dedicated to pushing the rule to its maximum (almost literal) interpretation. By contrast, many other plays, such as downing the kicker or Pauli and Scott styled taking out the playmaker (Soward and Thurston) depend upon hoping the rule is interpreted minimally (anything but literal). Put differently, maximizing what the team can do versus hoping the referees minimize what they can do. I'd prefer team maximizing their own innovative play over relying on lack of referee action any day, as the latter is what have us Storm wrestle tactics and Bulldog sheppards when Barba was there.
How is it not illegal? It's technically obstruction. The ball carrier is standing behind his teammates and taking advantage by kicking a field goal.
