No, the young ref isn't me - DUH! It's one of the HS kids that works my rec league. He has officiated only one season, so I thought this was a pretty good question to come from such an inexperienced ref. Here it is:

A1 is holding the ball in frontcourt. He is being guarded by B1, who has the heel of one of his feet on the OOB line. A1 pivots and steps on the toe of B1's foot (the one that is touching OOB) with his non-pivot foot. If B1's foot was not in the way, A1 would not be touching OOB.

What is the call, if any?

No call. You have to touch the floor or an object OOB to be OOB.The defensive player is a "player",not an "object",so the play continues. There's a casebook play somewhere in R7 about this. If the offensive player touches the defensive player with the ball,though,then the ball is OOB off of the defensive player.A1 gets the ball for a throw-in,in this case.This is also in the casebook in R7 someplace too.

Must not have looked hard, Jurassic - the reference here is 7.1.1(A) and 7.1.2(B).


Other than that, a good answer (as usual) from an old ref. :p

Actually,I didn't look at all,Mark. Just remembered that the case plays were in R7 someplace. I'm having one of those days where I couldn't find my a$$ with both hands,anyway,so it's probably best that I didn't look. :D

Blocking. :D

It's right there behind...no wait a minute, what's that on your shoulders? :D

Let me go on record as saying that I did not make the above post. ChuckElias has obviously stolen my password and used my user name to degrade and insult my good friend, Jurassic Referee.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Chuck! :)

Ah, yes, the persons responsible for sacking the persons responsible for that message has just been sacked.

Things are looking U.P. as long as it ain't draggin'.

Caoch-speak translation: If my player is on offense, this is blocking. If my player is on defense, this is charging! :D

Unfortunately,the scholarship monies that your friends on this Forum had quietly raised for you will now be directed to a more able candidate.

Like Ahhnold Schwarzagoober! :D

Guys - thanks for staying on topic. Yeah, I should talk.
