Ponytail

Is the hair not part of the body? OOB in both situations.

I believe there was a ruling or interpretation on this topic and the hair was considered out of bounds.

If a player A1 is making a try and is guarded by B1. B2 is standing next to B1 but facing a different direction. She hears B1 yell help, as she turns, her pony tail swings and makes contact with A1 on the try. Are you going to call a foul on B2 for the pony tail contact here? Or for any other ponytail/hair contact?

Marginal contact is not a foul

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)

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!
