Back In The Saddle wroteI'm happy to go with the entire ball. That makes my life easier, it's relatively easy to judge, and is probably closer to the intent of the rule than any other option.
It doesn't sound like anybody knows of any official interp on this. Not even after the UCLA game last year?
