I thought you already had that one. It's the 2009-10 one you were missing.

It's never been a travel in the 51 years that I've been getting rule books. And all anybody has to do to confirm that it still isn't a travel is to look in the current rule book under rule 4-42NOTE.

Ok, fine. But like I said, I got this information from an elder official who has officiated for so many years. I took him for his word. Just like you guys believed your parents growing up that there is a Santa

Then you should have said "This vet told me...". Instead you stated it as a fact.

That's the difference.

Same one as when the thrower violates by taking more than 5 seconds to release the throw, right?

Based on a couple of his stories, you may already have done his games.

Actually, no.

The signal for leaving the spot is to point at the spot with the index finger and sweep the hand away from the spot....similar to the signal given to indicated that the throw can run the endline (when that is appropriate).

The one for 5-seconds is holding up 5 fingers.
