Now that others have chimed in and helped me realize that I'm not totally crazy, look at the quote above.
No geometry class, or pulling out the ruler; I put the ball in approximately where it went out or where the violation occured - the exception is the ball going out of bounds in the lane area. That statement is
very different from the quote above.
I would still like to know what determines and/or where the authority comes from to "put the ball in anywhere on the baseline." I just wish there was some straight talk and we could get to the bottom of that.
