IRI Ball denial and G31

[Jay O'Donnell]

I've been my team's human player for a majority of the season, and I have not once seen or thought about this strategy. Every other inbounder I've worked with has been adamant about not breaking this rule and returning balls to the field. However, holding the maximum of six balls has occasionally proven to be a viable strategy. Based on what others are saying here, it's clear that this has been a problem at some events. Whether this is strategy or just a lack of knowledge about how to be a human player doesn't matter, the balls should be returned to the field (assuming you are holding more than six) It seems to unethical to me to blatantly break a rule because you think you can get away with it. I hope this doesn't happen at IRI, but I think it can be handled by the refs and possibly any volunteers.
