I did know that JRutledge was not talkng about out of bounds plays.

I was just pointing out that there does not seem to be a simple statement or "rule of thumb" to cover everything.

That why this new rule is scattered all over the rulebook.

First hint of a problem showed up early last year when the NFHS had to deal with issues regarding backcourt, that it eventually fixed.

I don't beleive that a simple statement, or "rule of thumb", to cover everything is, or will be, possible; each situation has its own interpretation.

That's been my point throughout this thread.
