2005-2006 NFHS Interpretations
SITUATION 9: A1 recovers a loose ball on the playing court near the sideline, with his/her body entirely in bounds. However, A1's head is hovering out of bounds and his/her hair (which is in a long ponytail) is touching the floor, out of bounds.
RULING: A1 is called for the out-of-bounds violation. (7-1-1; 7-1-2; 9-3-1)
