BRD Section 116: Catch: Dead-Ball Area: Thrown From
OBR: The fielder, unless he falls down or loses body control, may throw from any dead-ball area. (5.10f: 7.04c CMT 2)
The concept of "falling" in dead-ball territory after a catch is a well-documented concept. However, this concept of "losing body control" is a new concept to me. There are no OFF INTERPs, Notes, Plays or other clarifying comments in the BRD concerning this concept. Additionally, I have reasearched all Authoritative Opinion and Official Interpretation materials available and they too seem [unless I missed something] silent on the concept.
Could someone enlighten me on this "losing body control" concept, providing possible examples and authoritative and/or interpretative material?
