Please refer to ASA Case Play 8.2-16 to understand the point Rachel was making. The discussion is about the position of the runner. In ASA, it is not only the position of the runner that is considered, but (if there is contact with the ball) where the ball is when it hits the runner.
In ASA, the runner can be straddling the line and if the ball hits the part of the runner that is within the running lane, it is not a violation.
