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?

Jurassic Referee Mon Aug 11, 2003 01:59pm
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

Lets tweak this play. Instead of A1's foot touching B1's foot, what do we have if any part of B1 touches the ball while A1 is holding the ball?

Same thing - 7.1.2(B) - A1, while dribbling, touches B1 who is standing on a sideline. Ruling - A1 is inbounds. However, if the ball in control of A1 touches B1, the ball is out of bounds . . .

Where it touches B1 doesn't matter - just as long as he touches it.

Well, as long as we're playing 'pass the blame,' it really wasn't me who posted the grammatically incorrect version of a Monty Python paraphrase. While the matter is still under investigation, I suspect that Juulie stole my password and posted that so that she could be known as the sole grammar Nazi of the board.

I confess it all. It's been so tough living in the shadow of Genevieve Cole, my grandmother, who was sought out by publishers and writers to correct manuscripts and teach proper grammar. I've scolded, reprimanded, and cajoled for years; I've studied, slaved and labored over Henry Fielding, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens to study the history of the use of daily language. I have always hoped to establish my own reputation as Grammar Nazi Par Excellence, and it's so frustrating to see this young punk just step in and heedlessly, non-chalantly take over!! It's not fair!! I've earned it, I've worked for it, and no one is going to deprive me of it No ONE, do you hear me?!? I, I , I am going to rule the grammar world single-handedly, because I AM THE BEST!!!

Ha..Ha..Ha Ha Hahahaha..Take this Mark Dexter, you Tyro, you NeoPhyte -- can you tell off the top of your head the Plu-Perfect Subjunctive of the verb, to screw? Can you spot the five run-on sentences in Dickens' Bleak House? Can you recite the longest sentence in the English language in which all grammar rules of the author's contemporaries were strictly observed? I didn't think so. No one will ever understand these things after I'm gone.. it's all so unfair...

Okay...

I'll go quietly; I'm so sorry, so sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone. Dexter, just remember: the slavish avoidance of the gerund clause is the most telling mark of a student. And remember who taught you that...

...and someone please send tapes of the women's NCAA final four. I'll miss you all so much..

The closest I can come up with is "had have screwed". Example, "If he'd have screwed up that call, the coach would've gone ballistic."

Am I close?

Chuck, I can't believe you've never heard the joke about the businessman who was sent on his first trip to Boston. His boss said, "Be sure to try the fish they call scrod. It's what they do best." So when the businessman got into the taxi, he said, "I want to go where I can get scrod." The driver said, "I thought I'd heard it all, but no one's ever asked me before in the plu-perfect subjunctive."


Dexter -- If all i have to do to get an all-expense paid trip to a tropical island, is act like I'm off my meds for a few minutes -- hey, here I go:

I concur that "whence" is preferred over "from whence." But:

1) I intentionally make at least one error in most of my posts (a) so you won't think I'm perfect, and (b) to give the grammar and spelling nazis something to do

2) "From whence" is, in my experience, the more common, and acceptable (even if not "more correct") usage. Common english usage contains many repeated redundancies.

Back to original question
 
What happens if B1 has fallen down and his shorts are on OOB line? Then A1 who is inbounds steps on shorts of B1? Is the shorts an object or part of the player?

Ok and now for the non serious part if the shorts are part of the player? What happens in the case where A1 steps on the shoe of B1. The shoe comes off B1 but A1 is still on the shoe and the shoe is touching OOB.

oh, yeah, hyphenating the non-syllabic glottal stop is recommended when the speech sounds are more evocative than the air flow of the scintvillication parabola.

Juulie, I couldn't join them if I wanted to. Remember, I'm from Kentucky. I have to put my writing through one of those Star Trek Universal Translators just so you can understand me.

For example, here is the above paragraph without the translator:

Lil' Missie, i caint join up wif 'em if i was aimin' to. If'n you remember, i's from Kaintuck. i gots to put my words through one of them fancy space machines so you'uns can no wut i'm a sayin.
