When did this change into the "Geometry Forum"?

Don't make me say it, Billy.

The rule says "Plane" not "Line", so the width of the line is irrelevant. The "Inbounds" plane of the line and "out of bounds" plane of the line are the exact same plane, where both meet.

The rule says both. 🙄

Thats rignt, but "Boundary-Line" is refering to which plane.

Wow my head is spinning!!! I never really even thought about all this. If a thow in is being taken place and the thrower steps on the line I never called a violation. But since he stepped across the Out of Bounds line but not over the In bounds line.......where is he?

He stepped "on" the OOB line, not across it. He's still OOB.

Ok so the moral of the story is that the inbound side of the line no matter the width is what matters...

It refers to the painted line, recommended to be 2 inches but sometimes larger. Sometimes it's nonexistent, in which case the plane on the out of bounds side of the boundary line is co-located with the plane on the inbounds side of the boundary line.

Ha me too. Thats why I'm talking to you all at 12:22AM LOL. You guys are very helpful to me though. This is only my second season as an official (I coached for ten years).

Welcome to the dark side. 😀

that's what everyone tells me. The funny thing is I was a very verbal coach and recieved my share of Technical fouls especially early in my coaching career. When I came to the first officials rules interpretation meeting they raised there hands for everyone who had "T'd" me up....The only ones that didn't were the three new guys lol.
