Okay, not only was that one of the dumbest rule changes ASA added to the book since it was the epitome of redundancy and specifically addresses a ball off the fence.
Please understand, I know what the correct ruling is on the play offered, I'm just looking for a rule which clearly supports it. Personally, I think this is one that is so obvious, it is routinely overlooked.
