Question on inbound play

Yeah I see your point but that doesn't mean she has 3 foot inbounds does it? I guess that part of my question may be a stretch.

I also agree with what someone else said when there is a fumble. I see that all the time but typically the ref blows the whistle, stops play, gives the ball back and the throw in takes place. The ref was not paying attention and I felt missed at least one or two violations that should have been a turnover to us. I just wanted to make sure I was thinking correctly because both refs kept trying to convince me that there would have been no violation in the scenario I described to you. Would I have changed the call? No. But I would have at least gotten them to remember "Oh yeah, I need to pay attention on the inbounds plays".
