There is hope

This just might be the most insightful comment I have ever heard you make, Jeff! And grammatically correct with no misspellings!

Ysong, if it helps you pay attention to what Tony said,
"7-1-2
The ball is caused to go out of bounds by the last player in bounds to touch it or be touched by it..."

But let me stress the word "CAUSED." Often the person we call the OOB on is the one that caused it to go OOB. Hence the one that slapped the ball is the one that caused it to go OOB. And also this is likely the reason that Juggler said he might not call it OOB on a person whose hair barely touched a ball that was already going OOB.

Hope that helps... but don't ask me again.
