Look at 7-1-3 (a-d).

Look at 7-1-7 (a-c).

Look at 7-2-5 (a & b).

If they changed it to an "and" for this one rule, it wouldn't be consistent with the rest of the rulebook.
Which means which of the following:

If it's legal for him to take the handoff under a) or b), then it's legal,

OR

if it's illegal for him to take the handoff under a) or b), then it's illegal?

Which is it? See the dilemna?
Yep. I'm now confused too. I've always interpreted it to mean that the center COULD take handoff if he fulfilled the requirements of the 1/2 turn, etc. But now I'm now so sure.
