Player breaking the OOB plane.....what's the call?

but I was conducting a referee training yesterday, and one of the trainees said that the PIL league here in Oregon is calling that out of bounds and dead ball if the player has broken the sideline plane. I don't know. Comments?

I've worked with dozens of officials who work the PIL. None of them I've ever met is that dumb (except one who told me a player's status is determined by his "center of gravity").

I doubt very highly that Howard Mayo ever taught this to any PBOA official.

BTW - there are no separate rules for the PIL. They use standard NF rules as adopted by the OSAA.
