a) At a 90 degree angle from the base LINE, 10-12 feet from the play
b) At a 90 degree angle from the base PATH, 18 feet from the play
c) At a 90 degree angle from the base PATH, 10-12 feet from the play
d) At a 90 degree angle to the path of the runner, just short of the
base they are trying to reach at a depth of 10-12 feet

Your answer?

I was going to say B, but I don't remember which book now says 18 feet. Is it NFHS?

18-21 feet is the proper distance for calling a force out.

Oh, yeah, thanks.
That makes the answer C, but D for the test as Bret pointed out.

Frankly, I see D as being a subset of C, with C being the more "all-encompassing" answer. Maybe they think that we'll go jumping into the base path or something...
