One Ponytail Out, Or One Pigtail Out ...

Moderately off topic, but this reminded me of a play I had yesterday. A few girls on the ground, near the endline, going for loose ball. As lead, I'm watching for a foul, a travel, or a held ball, when one of the players grabbing for the ball has her long ponytail brush out of bounds. Easy call. A few parents who were sitting in line with the endline questioned me during a timeout. They had no problem with my explanation that the ponytail is a part of the player's body, and in the case of two pigtails, only one pigtail needs to be out of bounds for the player to be out of bounds.
