Why Can't He Move ???

... That the inbounder can't move. Because he can, in a lot of different ways, and directions. Up (jump). Down (gravity after jumping). Left (to a degree). Right (to a degree). Forward (very limited). Backward (limited to time, and setting). Move both feet in place (the travel that isn't a travel). Etc. So why say that he can't move?

Why say something that is 100% wrong, dead wrong, when several other alternatives (see above posts, lots of posts, lots of alternatives) can be easily stated that are all 100% correct.

Because that is Rut and you can't him otherwise.

After thinking about it because of this thread, I've refined my verbiage to "You have the endline" and "Hold this spot."

I also use hand signals.

I just don't want to end up in a situation in which the player was confused by my words.
