Well, that's the thing, I'm not an official, just a player who plays pickup ball with a guy who carries a rulebook with these and seems like he's pretty knowledgeable when it comes to rules, but I respect the game and everything you guys do, so I trust your words over his.
I'm reading old posts and it just boggles my mind how much rules there are in the game. Some could be pretty useful. Maybe I'll call a few of them if I see them.
EDIT: I got a hold of the
NCAA rulebook and looked up that rule reference and came up with this:
Section 2. Ball Caused to Go Out of Bounds
Art. 1. The ball shall be caused to go out of bounds by the last player to
touch or to be touched by the ball before the ball goes out,provided that
the ball is out of bounds because of touching something other than a player
who is out of bounds
Art. 2. When the ball is out of bounds because of touching or being touched
by a player who is on or outside a boundary, such player shall have caused
the ball to go out of bounds.
Can someone interpret that for me, please? I find the wording of it all to be very difficult to understand. Thanks, gents.
