This may be where they are pulling it from.

GA Ump - I get that. I know the fed rule is different. To satisfy the doubters, I need an NCAA rules reference. What I have shown them is not good enough because it does not specifically say that a ball lodged in a glove is still live. Of course - it does not say it is dead either, but again...that's not good enough. I understand the ruling by looking at it as a disjunctive syllogism...which can be a tough concept to grasp...not to mention spell

Ask them for the definition of a tag. Fed is the only rule set that punishes the defense for this.

Page 39. Tag: Section 74. The action of a fielder in touching a base with any part of the body while holding the ball securely in the hand or glove or touching a runner with the ball or with the glove while holding the ball securely and firmly in that hand or glove.
Yeah...I see what you mean. "the glove" and/or "that glove" does not distinguish between "his" glove and another. So, logically, if it is not specified it applies to all gloves the ball may be in and the fielder may be holding. I get it...I hope they will. |

Chris,
The BRD treats this as a "point not covered" in the NCAA rules and says to "Treat as in OBR" - which, as you already know, means "keep it live and rule on the play". There is nothing in the text of the NCAA rules that specifically addresses the question. JM

Thanks JM (aka 'Yoda') - Now I can take that BRD note to...never mind.
But this is exactly what I need - it truely is a point not covered. Hey Finn - disjunctive syllogism is a fancy way of saying 'process of elimination'. So it's not an oxymoron. "Blind umpire"...that's an oxymoron ![]() |

I simply meant that they may be applying the FED rule to NCAA. When, we all know FED = Calvinball.
I'm kind of surprised that they would apply one rule set to another without the explicit written part of it or official interpretation saying something to that effect. And, if they aren't, then I'm surprised b/c I have seen several clips and games of the pitcher tossing his glove to F3. Why do we try to put/say more is there when it isn't? Interesting.
