Okay, this one made my light bulb come on. (about time) This one is easier to define in my mind because my thought process would have already started as far as granting the time out before the travel. The travel was not anticipated, the airborne player landing out of bounds obviously was, but the concept is the same.
Having said all this, I would still like the addition to 6-7: Ball becomes dead when a player/coach properly requests a time-out.
