Violation?

4-35 says a player who is touching out of bounds is out of bounds.

9.2.5 B says A1 has the ball out of bounds but when he touches B1 inbounds he now has inbounds status.

Furthermore, 7-1-1 tells us that touching a person who is out of bounds does not cause a player who is inbounds to be out of bounds.

You win.

I'm done.

It's a contradiction in Jarlandia.

That reminds me. I have to renew my passport. My new daughter-in-law is from China. My new son-in-law is from Australia. Maybe a side trip to Jarlandia would be fun. Is it difficult to get a tourist visa?

Get a visa to visit hell. Apparently one of the benefits of living there is you are never wrong.

To whom do I apply? Maybe Jurassic Referee can send me a travel brochure?

Another benefit is that in Hell you only have to discuss rules and you don't have to have any meaningless and endless discussions on what might or might not be the meaning of any particular word. And oh yes, they do have blarges here in Hell too.

Didn't Bill Clinton do something like that? And you're right, the discussions seemed endless.

I had a teenage partner yesterday who had a metal whistle. Probably got it from his dad. Hadn't seen one in quite a while.

Meaningless and endless discussions! Ain't that the truth!!!!!

I look at this forum and there it is....dozens of threads on simple, basic questions that have been thoroughly and accurately answered. Yet, there they continue on, pages and pages of ridiculous discussions of the simplest, most mundane rules.

Obviously, this ain't Hell. Wait, let me save BillyMac the trouble. I'll post the pic.

And yet, to our benefit, you keep logging on?

So is this your way of admitting that you were wrong?

Yes, I was completely wrong to make any response at all to your post #20. I should have just ignored it. Live and learn.

And if you feel that my initial response to your post #20 was wrong also, you can have that one also without any further argument from me too.

Now everybody should be happy.

Yes, it's a contradiction. And?

And I thought that might be the reason for the confusion in the earlier post which resulted from the use of the phrase 100% out of bounds. Editorial revisions are made in the books pretty much every year. I thought this might be a likely place for one.
