Rule 7-6 Question
Can someone please explain the following rule and in what situation would it be beneficial to have my players ask for this space?
ART.5... Teammates shall no occupy adjacent positions which are parallel to and within 3 feet of the boundary line if an opponent desires one of the positions. The 3-foot restraining line is sometimes the temporary boundary line as in 1-2-2. Thanks! |

I have seen many people think that if their opponents are stacked in a line they have to be allowed in the stack between players. That is not true. Those players are lined up PERPENDICULAR to the end line. If they get there first the spots are theirs and I will not let opponents in or fight their way in. |

I would have to imagine that this rule harkens to a time long ago when defenses were more primitive and defending the throw-in was a huge deal. What say you, MTD, Sr.?
I rarely see defenses line up parallel to the line like this, and even if they did, I doubt any player would ever know that there's a rule that allows them to ask for a space. Same thing with respect to defensive match-ups when three or more opponents are beckoned into the game. Count me in as one who has never observed either request made in a game (nine years in now). |

Also the defense of the throw-in has the right to stand next to the thrower as well. That rule kind of addresses that as well. It is the only time they have a right a specific space on the floor if they did not get there first.
Peace

Many years ago players would stand parallel the end line and pass or hand the the ball between players while holding the ball out of bounds to run clock. This rule prevents this nonsense as well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There isn't one so don't hold your breath. It will never come nor will a retraction.
