Bob,
Are you saying a player cannot leave the court voluntarily without intent to deceive,... that is, to Catch and Pass a ball?
Cuz I was saying: leave voluntarily *and it's not done to "confuse the defense" or to gain an advantage*

Phew! I've lost track of this thread -- I think we are saying the same thing:

If you leave
With intent to deceive
It's a T

If you leave
But do not deceive
It's not a V
For you to retrieve

QED
