Spence.

Check the NFHS rulebook on this matter. The OBR rulebook doesn't have the interpretation of where the baseline is established, but the FED book does. I'm not sure what rule number being I don't have my book in front of me. Look in FED rule 8, when a runner is out. It mentions the 3 foot baseline and has a note underneath it about how the baseline is established. I hope this helps.


P.S. A troll is someone who posts on a message board with the sole intention of inciting somebody to insult or flame another or themselves. I don't beleive you were trolling, you just took the rule as it was read. The NFHS has put this interp in their rulebook, OBR hasn't. Its implied in OBR that the runner etablishes his own baseline.
