Re: 2010 Pittsburgh Regional

I was checking out the video to see what the red card fuss was about..... and noticed some interesting footage at 56:10.

1114 has the ball, and gets tipped up from the side.

Is it my imagination, or does the ball go up with them?

If so, isn't that a clear case of ball posession (Carrying), and not an accidental one... their mechanism would tend to appear to firmly hold onto that ball (dual roller system maybe).

Clearly it's effective.... but doesn't <G44> outlaw this sort of mechanism...

We just competed at Chesapeake, and so I know that inspection didn't include a demonstration of ball handling, so when should this sort of <G44> thing get picked up and corrected?

(I mean, if it's permitted, I want one!)
