NCAA question

On that standard, this runner is not even remotely close to being 3 feet out of the basepath.

The NCAA thinks he is.

What do you mean by that? Is there some note somewhere I've not seen that changes the time at which we are to set the baseline in a situation like this?

Okay dash, w/ that approach I can see where "D" could be an answer. Clear as mud. Perfect.

No, I'm just going by the possible answers to this question.

Ah. Got it.

If I have my facts straight, I was told at a FED meeting control of the ball really meant everything. I believe I was referring to the fielder with the ball in his throwing hand, and making an attempt to tag a runner with his glove hand. More than a reach on a tag attempt regardless of the location/possesion of the ball, runner out for leaving base path. Might be something you want to discuss in a future meeting.

So is anybody on here opposed to answering "D" on this question?

Nope - I was a little slow, but after this discussion, I believe that's the right answer. I missed 2 - I have no idea which ones - but I don't think this was one of them...
