Or for any other ponytail/hair contact?

I would judge a foul on the contact just as I would for any other contact.

Also, from the 2005-06 Interps:
SITUATION 9: A1 recovers a loose ball on the playing court near the sideline, with his/her body entirely in bounds. However, A1's head is hovering out of bounds and his/her hair (which is in a long ponytail) is touching the floor, out of bounds. RULING: A1 is called for the out-of-bounds violation. (7-1-1; 7-1-2; 9-3-1)

That would've been one of those close, "razor's edge" calls you often have to make.

(Almost all games tonight in SW Michigan, mine included, have been cancelled. As you can tell, all I have to do now is watch Law and Order reruns and monitor the discussion board .)

I stand corrected - I didn't look back far enough for this OOB sit. Guess I will be calling this from now on.

Thanks!

In volleyball ( I know, I know) when the pony tail/hair touches the net it is NOT a net foul and this is specified in the rules. Until something is specified for BB I'm not calling this.

I may be wrong - but I'm not calling it!

What happened in 59 minutes to make you change your mind?

Good thing she didn't have dreds. That may have been an intentional. j/k

Personally, I'd say an injury is sufficient advantage to call a foul. Sort of like a poke in the eye when swiping for the ball. If I see it, I'll call it.
