This is not the way it is enforced in my association, nor the way I intrepret NFHS. My understanding is "confines of the field" is live ball territory and the dugouts.
I understand that this goes against the case play about players remaining in the confines of the field incorrect. I believe that NFHS put in a poorly worded case play to illustrate a player should not be doing things like sitting in the stands chatting with friends during the game. As previously posted, I think we will see that case play changed.
Does anyone believe that if a foul ball were hit outside the confines of the field (however you define it) that a player should not be allowed to go shag that ball? I think NFHS incorrectly used an all encompassing case book play to explain what should have been a specific situation.
