For you to say what a player cannot be doing is silly. Players at the HS level try stuff all the time that do not make complete sense. Where the ball is should not be a factor if you feel it was a legitimate attempt. This is where your experience and judgment come into play. And for you to say this is just cut and dry is kind of short sighted if you ask me. And it very much is a judgment call and this is why you get paid to make the big bucks to make these kinds of decisions. But to say it is not a judgment call is not at all true.
