Question
BigVic69
in the rule there are terms like "voluntary and intentional" and "in the act of making a throw".
This is what I would like to understand better.
how is "voluntary and intentional" to be judged (other than dropping the ball)?
- I have heard moving of the foot, change in direction, etc.
how is "in the act of making a throw" to be judged? Does this mean that the ball at least needs to be in the throwing hand?

No...You can have the ball securely in glove and try to pop it to your throwing hand...that is control and voluntary release. You can also throw/flip/propel the ball from your glove to another field

I don't like this (no offense @Vegas_Ump ..nothing personal) ... I just don't like this teaching method. I don't like it because there are many ways a ball can come out of the glove, and it's dire
