missed backcourt

[rsl]

Thanks to all. JetMetFan, I was right on top of the trap so I will need to think about stepping back a bit. The coach had exactly the same view as me since I was right in front of him, but of course he was willing to presume the start of the jump in his favor. Maven, you are right that this would have been easy in three man.

Strangely enough, the varsity guys agreed with my partner in the post game, so it was not a learning experience for my partner. I wish the backcourt rule was more clearly written so I could prevail in the post game discussion.

This would be the most troubling part of the situation. The varsity guys knew she jumped from the frontcourt, caught the ball, landed in backcourt and thought it was okay? Yikes!

I think if an official is in position at the division line and can save the crew, he should.

If the official is somewhere along the baseline, he should remember his responsibilities and remember that sometimes being right isn't the most important thing.

Pretty sure that when Rich says "save the crew" he means this type of play

Oh boy.

I am pretty sure that is not what he is talking about.

And you can only save someone that wants to be saved.
