Not sure about NFHS, but....
NCAA Rule 4, Section 33, Article 6.
a. The guard shall have both feet touching the playing court. When the guard jumps into position initially, both feet must return to the playing court after the jump, for the guard to attaina guarding position.
The ONLY way I can see this official's interpretation being correct is if he believes "touching the playing court" means the defender has to be in-bounds.
Not sure I buy that one. We're talking about a train wreck here. Foot on the line sounds like a red herring.
Offense, offense, offense, all the way. Team B got robbed.
