legal or not
« on: November 27, 2010, 10:01:49 PM »
Let some of the newer guys have a crack at this before the big wigs jump in.  eAt&

Many of you probably saw in the OK/OKST game 2nt a defender jump from inbounds, and while in the air above OOB's, bat the ball back into the field of play where his teammate intercepted the ball. Now we know this is all legal, but let's change the play and see if things change.

What if the defender is OOB's when he leaps into the air and bats the ball back into the field of play where his teammate intercepts it? Is this also legal, or not, and if not how do you enforce the penalty?

Team B does not lose any eligibility by stepping out of bounds.
A player in the air is not out of bounds.

Play on.

Monte, that would be legal as there is no prohibition I can find against a defender stepping out of bounds and returning.

No concerns over the non-lateral tip/pass?

9-4-1-a:

Quote
While a pass is in flight, any player eligible to touch the ball may bat it in any direction (Exception:  Rule 9-4-2).

9-4-2 talks about batting a backward pass forwards.  It's got to be a bat rather than a pass, because in order to pass the ball you first have to establish possession of it by returning to the ground inbounds, and the player clearly didn't do that.
