You know, this is hilarious...
Our Official's Manual states................
Players who have practiced long hours deserve competent officials who have complete understanding of the letter, as well as the spirit and intent of the rules...."
It further goes on to state............
The basic requirement for all sports officials is courage."
If one can't look at this situation and understand the intent of the rule, and/or won't rule against what is written, they have not fulfilled either of the prior items we are charged with.
This situation is not covered in the book. Ruling this player inbounds goes against any shred of common sense in any circle of officiating.
Have the balls (courage) to rule against what is written.
