I am stunned that this is even an issue as well. For one I do not know anyone that reverts back their geometry class and put the ball according to theorems and formulas. Secondly I do not recall that I said anything that violated a rule. I stated that based on a lot of factors I may or may not put the ball in a few steps one way or another. I did not say I move the ball from one side of the court to another. I know it becomes an even more drastic situation when the ball goes out on the sideline, where in many gyms the fans are right off the court or the teams and the table are right next to the line that a player has no place to stand. It is very common to move a player to a spot where there is more room. I guess this will just be something I will have to disagree with people on. If the ball goes out at the "P" I am not going to lose sleep if I bring the ball in on the "A" or "N" in some cases.
Peace
