New Rule

[soundedlikeastrike]

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".
