I am having to aggree with many that it is a very poorly worded statement. the whole "unless" thing almost doesn't even need to be in there. What difference does it really make if you can't go outside the 3' if the fielder truly has the ball.
I guess it is the intent of the rule, you can't try to avoid a tag and deviate more than 3'. Now is that the torso, feet or head?
