That just happens to be where the term bat is defined in the NFHS rules book. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear anywhere else.

Yes, it's illegal, but not because it doesn't say you can. It's illegal because it specifically says you cannot do it.

Anyway, straddling the line is what I meant in my original post(s), and it's why I intentionally left it vague when I said "has out of bounds status" - otherwise I would've said "who is out of bounds." I'm pretty careful how I word things on here - I just left something out. Take it for what it's worth, but be assured that I'm not trying to make myself sound smarter (or less incorrect) by writing my previous post. I admit I'm wrong all the time on here.

One would have to understand that he meant the first player with "one foot touching out of bounds" has the other foot touching inbounds, otherwise this player would, in fact, be "completely out of bounds."

This is a correct inference and interpretation of what I wrote, because it's what I was (unclearly) implying.

I didn't. As I essentially said earlier: MY BAD.

Thanks for the info. I just don't like to gender-assume.
