That's what I already said, but thanks.

 

It's really an easy rule, if a guy has possession of the ball, he can only walk if he moves both feet. What's hard about that?

I just wanted to let everyone know the exact ruling per the NFHS Rules Book. I know it's an easy rule but obviously others didn't. There's nothing hard about that rule.:thumb:

You illustrate a rule that is misunderstood like many other rules myths. In your scenario, you'll often hear fans yell "both have the ball" despite no feet being moved. Its sort of like the myth that you have to have both feet in bounds before touching the ball after you've been out of bounds.

Please read above, I stated I do not want any player lost. My son is in his senior season, was the starting center for LCA last year, and was looking forward to a good senior season but in during "practice" before the season started, tore his patella tendon in his knee, just jumping up for a pass with no one around, now we hope he can come back for a hand full of games if he heals. So NO I do not want a player EVER lost for ANY reason. Not the purpose of this post.

 

 

I understood your post completely and I agree with you. I didnt intend to insinuate you were advocating rough play or anything........I was simply offering an explanation as to why officials may be quick to make the held ball call......
