If a bad pass hits a referee that is standing out of bounds and the ball bounces back in bounds without hitting the floor is it considered out of bounds?

Out of bounds.

Out of bounds.

 

In the case I am referring to, the referee had his left foot OB on the side and another in bounds. A pass hit his elbow (which was on the in-bound side of the sideline) and bounced straight down on the in-bounds side. Ref blew his whistle and called OB. I guess he was right.

Saw that very call made at Augusta Friday night, and ball ruled out of bounds.

It's out of bounds. Ref was right. Easy call.

Mercer-Cordia game today had a plsy in which the ref actually almost caught a pass in self defense basically...cordia player saw him with his peripheal vision and from about 15 feet away zipped it to him . Ref threw his hands up both hands on ball and basically dropped it ...players grabbed it and played on

Whats the rule if a player has blood/scratch on him? Does he automatically have to leave the game or is there a "grace" period that the trainer on site can put a bandaid on him?

He has to leave the game.
