1 game it was not a violation and the player never came back in and touched the ground before touching the ball.
i looked on several high sites and got various answers from officials. I see it answered differently on sites that have tests..

It is not illegal. This isn't the NFL.

I finally ordered a rule book because so many mistakes are being made by officials in our games.

I understand. I've order several coaching books and manuals, including "Coaching for Dummies, for the same reason.

its clearly a violation under NCAA rules. what is the rule in HS and if its different why do we have 2 sets of rules on a play like this?

No, it's not.

and while i am waiting for the rule book just how do you interpret the 3ft rule on out of bounds playing movement? is it 3 ft circle when handed the ball is it 3 ft either direction?
|
No, it is not a circle.
The thrower does not decide where his intial spot is.
The official designates the spot.
The spot is 3' wide.
As long as he keeps either foot on/over that spot, he may be able to move several 2-4 feet outside the spot with his second foot, in either direction.
