Nevadaref, I can think of two instances where it would be an advantage for the defense to know if the basline can be ran.

I've also seen a play where a second offensive player will go behind the endline and a pass will be made along the endline out of bounds, legal only when the baseline is allowed to be run. In this instance the defender of player 2 stepping out of bounds reached across the plane defending the pass and recieved a T for it. If the defense is aware that the endline can be ran, they could mentally prepare for such situations.

You're right Rick, and this is an advantage defense SHOULD have. They have a right to know what the overall situation is, so that they CAN plan accordingly. That's our job. |
