The problem is that the rule is in the NFHS book because it is a safety issue.
I’m not going to play while a safety rule is being violated. Sorry, but there is no compromising on player safety.

Agree. Including the side of the court we can't see, it's probably about twenty fans that have to be moved (maybe into the corners). If they don't move when I politely tell them, I'll approach the site director and tell him that it's up to him, possibly with the help of the police officer in the corner, to get them moved. We're not playing until they're moved.

Those mats on the walls are there for a reason, and they are not to be blocked. Gross negligence. Liability. Anybody can sue anybody for any reason at any time. I like my house. I like my car. I like my bank account. I want to keep them. Even if they don't have a good case, I would still have to pay an attorney for billable hours, and billable hours aren't cheap.

IAABO Make The Call Video Play Commentary Correct Answer: This is a legal move.

Black #13 dribbles the ball into the lane area, ends his dribble on his right foot, then jumps and lands on both feet simultaneously before jumping again to attempt a try for goal.

This is a legal play and correctly ruled as such by the officials. By rule, a player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. It should be noted that if the player stops after landing simultaneously, neither foot can be a pivot foot. (4-44-2.b.2) Even though neither foot is considered the pivot foot, either foot may be lifted (but not returned to the floor before the ball is released) on a pass or try for goal. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. It would be a traveling violation if either foot (or both feet) were lifted before the ball is released to start a dribble. (4-44-3)

Here is the breakdown of the IAABO members that commented on the video: This is a legal move 91% (including me). This is a traveling violation 9%.
