Contact with the thrower...Hmmmm...

[Camron Rust]

Ok, you're guys are playing right along nicely....

How do you decide who makes contact? Where is that defined?

Another play....

B2 guarding A2 who curls around a screen by A3 along the baseline and across the front of the A1 (the thrower). B2 trails A2 around the screen and A1 sticks their arms out just as B2 passes by such that B2 runs into A1's arms. What do you have?


I'm not suggesting this will or will not happen, just posing the examples to examine and/or expose what this rule really does. The arguments behind this new interpretation were that it made things easier....but did it?
