Player A's team last touched the ball, and it is heading out of bounds. Player A runs and grabs the ball, jumps and is in the air, throws it back into play to a teammate, but before he threw the ball, he had passed over the sideline and broken the "plane" of what is out of bounds. Do you call him OUT before he threw it, or is the ball live because he hasn't come back down yet out of bounds? This should be simple, but I was conducting a referee training yesterday, and one of the trainees said that the PIL league here in Oregon is calling that out of bounds and dead ball if the player has broken the sideline plane. I don't know. Comments?
