returning inbounds...

[BigCat]

1. when A gets one foot down and the other is up in the air he does have inbound status. in your play i would still want to know where the rest of him is. the plane of the end line runs straight up to the ceiling. he can have inbound status but if his arm is through the plane or the leg is through the plane (while off the ground) and that helps him touch the ball i would consider a violation for breaking plane before ball is released.

2. if the thrower in holds the ball through the end line plane, over inbounds, the opponent can grab the ball from him, tie him up etc. legal but risky for opponent. if he hits the thrower in on the arm and you call a foul it is intentional by rule..
