I've searched all my rule books, and I can't find the wording "guide the ball to the ground" in any of them. Could you please provide the rule referrence for us? I don't think merely touching the ball intentionally qualifies, because in order to catch the ball, one must intentionally touch it. Intentionally dropping is a totally different event from intentionally touching.

I agree with the concept, I've just never seen the language. I'll search some more. At least until I get a life....may take a while.

PWL,

I found it!

FED Casebook 8.4.1g - "Manipulating the ball to the ground is prohibited."

And now we know....the rest of the story. Good day.
