Interesting Play

[Sharpshooternes]

We were debating this tonight. How do you judge rolling over either from the stomach or the back? Is it from stomach to back or back to stomach that is illegal? To the side? So many degrees? We've read and found all of the rules and case book plays previously mentioned but can't conclude about the rolling over part.

It's not defined in the books or interps.

... and Funk and Wagnalls weren't very helpful: To turn around, or partly turn around.

Yeah. Thank you Funk. Thank you Wagnalls. For nothing.

Well regarding whether or not a travel occurs is left to the sagacity of the referee who has primary coverage of the play.

Or the umpire, or the other umpire.

Sagacity?

I mean, from where I live now.

I'm not that old, but Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. is.

It isn't defined, but I'm OK with a player settling from this/her side to back or stomach....about a 1/4 turn. But, I'm not OK with going from left side to right side...anything nearing 180degrees is, to me, turning over.
