Again, I say:
Quote:
If the defense wasn't allowed to move slightly out-of-bounds to keep his legal guarding position, then SECTION 23, ART. 3b should read:
The guard may move laterally or obliquely ON THE PLAYING COURT to maintain position, provided it is not toward the opponent when contact occurs.
Therefore, if this happens in my game, I have either player control or charge.

So,you would call a pc foul if the defender had a foot on the line, even though the RULE explicitly states that you can't. That's exactly what I thought that you have been saying.
Good luck!

JR,
You and I must not be reading the same book. I've communicated my position as clearly as I think I can. And, I believe I've clearly pointed out the fallacy in the new rules clarification. You can ref by the interpretation, Mark and I will ref by the rule book.
