As it was described to me by my FNI (Friendly Neighborhood Interpreter), when the rule was originally introduced it was incomplete. The LDB completes the rule.
I think eyeballing will be the easy part. It's recognizing where a move begins when a player is on the move - especially if she doesn't have the ball - that will cause the most headache. I wish there had been more of a chance to work with it during the summer. All the AAU tournaments used NFHS rules so the only time we'll have to practice is in preseason scrimmages.
I like the fact that we have a "when in doubt" option. Some coaches probably won't like the fact that the "when in doubt" option calls for the RA to be in play but they had to choose something.
