Basketball Referee says, "You're the only one saying "the ball is part of the runner's hand." No one else has said that. It's not true. The runner is not down simply because he touches the ball to the ground."
Fine! I believe you. But what's your authority?
Every other reply seems to infer this principle from certain rules, but no one thus far can cite an authoritative interpretation except to say in effect "everyone does it that way." If I wanted high-minded preaching, I'd stay on the baseball forum.
