Hope this Helps....JO

Now,you got it right,JO. It's 3 feet,not 5 feet as you stated in your original post.
Glad I could help. [/B][/QUOTE]
I believe he had it right to start with. He was giving an example of a legal play, not the limit of what was legal. He did say the space was 3ft deep. I interpreted his reference to "directly" as being very close (1-2 feet perhaps). No need to claim he was completely wrong.
