What else can I help you with?
Is on the line in football out?
Yes if a player steps on the out-of-bounds line than the player is out-of-bounds.
Can a player run out of bounds and come back in to make a play?
During the course of play, as long as you reestablish legal position on the court prior to receiving the ball play continues without penalty. An inbounds play may be a different case. I believe you cannot be the first one to touch the inbounded ball if you go out of bounds to shake a defender.
What happens if a player is dribbling steps out of bounds the ball still in bounds then steps back in bounds and continues dribbling again?
If a player dribbling the ball steps out of bounds while the ball is still in bounds, they lose their status as a player in bounds. When they step back in bounds, they cannot legally continue dribbling until they re-establish themselves in bounds. Specifically, they must ensure both feet are in bounds before they can resume dribbling. If they continue dribbling without re-establishing their position, it results in a turnover.
Can a football player that steps out of bounds still field the ball?
no, in fact they have a penalty for that
In NFL if player is in bounds but the ball is out of bounds is it still a 1st down?
If the player fails to cross the ball where ever the marker is before he physically steps out of bounds then it is not a first down. Although I'm not certain, I think the ball has to cross the marker in bounds as well.
Do they have a count in an in bounce pass in college basketball?
In college basketball, a player can take a maximum of two steps after receiving an in-bounds pass before they must dribble or pass the ball. However, there is no specific "count" for an in-bounds pass itself; the player simply has to ensure they are within the rules regarding foot placement and not traveling. If the player steps out of bounds or violates other rules during the in-bounds play, it can result in a turnover.
If a player in basketball saves the ball from going out of bounds but he himself goes out and then comes back and picks up the ball is this ok?
Yes...they must have 2 feet in bounds first
Can a player be called for basketball offsides if they step out of bounds while in possession of the ball"?
No, a player cannot be called for offsides in basketball. The term "offsides" is not used in basketball rules. If a player steps out of bounds while in possession of the ball, it is called a "out of bounds" violation, and the ball is turned over to the opposing team.
Can a defensive player go out of bounds then return to the field to tackle an offensive player?
Yes he can. If you want proof you can see it in a Super Bowl XLIII re-run where #92 of the Steelers ran that interception back for a touchdown. Larry Fitzgerald was out of bounds just before he tackled #92 in the end zone. Only if the player was forced out of bounds by the opposing team can he come back in to make a tackle which was not the case in SB XLIII and Fitzgerald. He may have been forced out by an Arizona player but he was no forced out by a Pittsburgh player. He was not flagged because they simply did not see it.
If a kick off returner fumbles the ball in the end zone still in play then steps out of bounds can he come back into the endzone and down the ball?
If a player who was out of bounds steps back in and downs the ball, it would be a touchback, and the ball would be spotted on the 20-yard-line. However, that player would get penalized for illegal participation, bringing the ball back some.
If a football player falls BACKWARD out of bounds does the clock stop?
Only if he has the ball.AnswerYes. The clock always stops when the ball goes out of bounds. It doesn't matter how it got there. Wrong - Although I don't feel it is a good rule, in college football if a player steps out of bounds going backwards and does not display a foward advance while carrying the ball the clock keeps running.
Is a ball carrier down if his knee lands on tackler?
No, only if the player holding it steps out of bounds.
