Thanks for the replies mikesears. I was curious about the 2 feet you mentioned. Are you saying that if the ball is floating over the endzone, and I leap from the 1 foot line, no part of me touching the endzone, then bat the ball backwards, that this doesn't count cause I was within 2 feet? I've never heard of any significance to the 2 foot line.
REPLY: I believe that Mike used the phrase "two feet" not as a distance requirement, but rather as an indication that a player must have his two feet down in order to establish himself inbounds (vs. out of bounds). Just like when a receiver catches a pass near the sideline. He must have his two feet down inbounds to be granted the catch. Isn't that correct Mike? Wasn't that what you were speaking about?
