How about that?
Friday night was perhaps my worst night of officiating, and last night was one of my best.
From what I read in the rule book it was not a violation. 9-1-3 d. says "no player shall enter a marked lane space or leave a marked lane space by contacting the court outside the 36-inch by 36-inch space until the ball is released."
The player that committed the foul did not contact the court outside of his marked lane space.
And part g. of 9-1-3 says "a player occupying a marked lane space may not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the outside edge of the lane boundary, or beyond the vertical plane of any edge of the space (2 inches by 36 inches) designated by the lane-space marks."
His feet did not leave his marked lane space.
There may be case plays that say otherwise, but looking at these rules I don't see a violation.
