NCAA Rules - When can a player get a running start?? I know I've seen this addressed somewhere but I can't seem to find it...
Thanks...
Better to have him plant his feet (and you can verbalize this to the guy with the ball) and then blow the whistle.
Exception would be this new pre=faceoff violation whereupon we want to get the play going quickly so we allow a running restart. This is going to burn us all before the season is over...you wait!

When he doesn't have the ball, and, as eme pointed out, with the crazy new face-off rule.
This was a rule proposal that I sent in last year that sort of addresses the topic.
e. Restart—1. When play is to be restarted after a loose ball goes out of bounds or a player in possession steps out of bounds on the sideline or end line, it will be restarted on the field of play, 1 yard from the point where it went out of bounds but at least 5 yards from the table area.
2. In the case of a player in possession stepping out of bounds (or of an out-of-bounds player touching an in-bounds loose ball) the point of the restart is determined by the location of the ball when the ball was declared out of bounds.
3. In the case of a loose ball going out of bounds, the point of the restart is determined by the location where the ball last broke the plane of the boundary line before becoming an out-of-bounds ball.
4. If the ball is in possession of an in-bounds player, with the crosse extended past the plane of the boundary line, and then the ball goes directly out of bounds, the point of the restart is determined by where the ball was when it left the crosse.
5 If there is any technical or personal foul while the ball is inside the attack area, the ball must be moved laterally outside the attack area before play is restarted. This applies to all live-ball and dead-ball fouls whether or not they are timeserving.
If you have to be one yard in from the sideline or endline where it went OOB, you can hardly have a running start.
Alas, it was rejected. I'll try again this year.
