For the last time because I'm just repeating myself now...
This is the original post. A1 is jumping off of one foot to try for goal. Note--->
"TO TRY FOR GOAL"! A1 is
NOT jumping off of one foot to do a jump stop--i.e. to land on both feet simultaneously.
I repeat.....
A1 is NOT jumping off of one foot to do a jump stop!!!!
You people are all injecting something into the situation that is not only wrong but is completely irrelevant. You're all trying to say that A1 was
NOT jumping for goal as written explicitly above, but is doing a jump-stop instead.
Reading Is Fundamental!!!!
The rules that I cited definitively cover what a player
jumping to try for goal can legally do and not do. And what a player jumping for a try on goal
can't legally do is come back down with the ball.
Again, we're discussing a player jumping for goal and coming down with the ball. We're
NOT discussing a player executing a jump-stop. That's a completely different scenario than the one outlined in the original post above.
