I know this has been debated before and I don't buy the "intent of the rule" argument. If a player wants to hold the ball between his/her knees I don't see an infraction. I'll discontinue my post on this subject because I'm sure we'll only agree that we disagree. [/B][/QUOTE]

As posted before, it's specifically in the NCAA book, and was in some old FED interp.
