BTW, NFHS actually includes a definition of an illegal slide in their rule book. You can be pretty sure that if the slide was legal for NFHS, it was legal for ASA (although the inverse may not necessarily be true).
Here is the NFHS definition:
Quote:
Rule 2: Definitions
Section 52: Slide: Legal, Illegal
Article 2
Art. 2... Illegal Slide. A slide is illegal if:
a. the runner uses a rolling or cross-body slide into the fielder;
b. the runner's raised leg is higher than the fielder's knee when the fielder is in a standing position;
c. the runner goes beyond the base and makes contact with or alters the play of the fielder;
d. the runner slashes or kicks the fielder with either leg; or
e. the runner tries to injure the fielder.
