1) oh right, my bad. I thought this was about a throw-in. In another thread someone asked about throwing the ball in and this happened. That's why I thought my post was deleted, because I made this same argument in the other thread, not this one. Thanks for the clarification.

2) 9-9-3 says that it doesn't matter where the player jumps from. He/she may legally jump from FC and land with one or both feet in the BC. It doesn't even matter where the first foot lands, as long as the second foot is in the BC, that player has in BC status. Just be ready to explain this to a coach if this happens
