New Rule
Play the other night, O throws a lob type pass into our post player who's on or near the low block, pass is deflected off D then off O.
O chases the ball a couple of steps, gathers it and as he is going over the end line is able to throw it back into a team mate. I can only describe this as a perfect save.. Pass is caught on the wing, suddenly the baseline official blows the whistle and points the other way. O player says why, did I step on the line? Ref. say's "it's a new rule, if you move laterally over the end line it's illegal." ??? Of course the gentlemen, we are, we look stunned and play on, scratching our heads over the new rule we've learned. Of course we have coined this ref as "Bill" as in Bill Maher's New Rules. Any idea what the referee was trying to communicate with this "new rule". |
Confused With Another Game ???
Is there any game played with a ball that treats the boundary as a plane, and doesn't allow players with the ball, or the ball itself, from crossing, or "touching", the plane from inbounds to out of bounds?

No.

PS - When I was a Military Policeman many years ago, I had a soldier who worked for me who would also do this. He just made it up..... We used to refer to it as "IAW Army Regulation 190-Willard......" Man, it got me in a bind a few times with some senior brass, as similar to the incident above, it AIN'T defensible. Thanks for bringing back THAT painful memory! :p |

Soccer, the end line is the same, not just side lines, and a ball over the end line will result in a goal kick or corner kick. Not a throw in.
Soccer, hence my answer "no", to the question of "any game", soccer is not a game, it is a way of life. Nothing in new rules, that could be any where close to being construed to fit the OP's Ref's explanation? |
The vertical plane DOES come into play during free-throws (for feet only).
A stretch... lol but at least a vertical plane scenario in the game of basketball. |

Moderator intervention
I find soccer talk offensive. Can the moderator remove all posts relating to soccer???
What's with soccer offsides anyway? I always thought it a good thing to get ahead of your defender. And another thing, it turns my stomach when I hear kids or parents during a basketball game yelling 'mark that kid!' How do you mark somebody??? |
