Speaking ASA

There is something in the rule book.

Rule 1.FOUL TIP
Rule 7.4.E
RS #22

All we are experiencing here is people trying to outthink a rule or justify myths in which they believe as truth. There is no reason to address a pitch hitting the ground prior to a foul tip because it is irrelevant to the rule.
