Say what?
Peter Webb said "obviously the rule does not permit that" in response to the question that I asked about it being legal for a defender to move laterally in front of an airborne shooter
after the shooter had left his feet.
Peter Webb (wrongfully) assumed that Mark was referring to a defender moving sideways
before the shooter left his feet. He admitted to that wrongful assumption.
You have what he said backward, Juggs. Peter Webb is a respected and knowledgeable rules resource. He'd never knowingly come up with a basic rules misunderstanding like that one imo.
