Ok thanks - i threw in the NOS to make it clear why you would pass to him.

... with hindsight my Q could have been better worded (tho most worked out what i was really asking) Sorry for the confusion

That's OK. We all learned from the following discussion!

This was added to LRB Vesion 2

To be able to make an
interception, the player must be between the player
who threw the ball and the player who is meant to
receive it, and the plastic ruler must pass over at
least part of the square the intercepting player is
standing in.

Note the word AND. This means 'both', not 'one or the other or both' - that's logically, "OR".

So players standing next to the player with NOS cannot intercept if the pass is straight down the line. Good luck to the player trying to get away from the players around them though - they've got some dodging (or blitzing) to do!

Darn the Amazons, Zara & Witches - Can't say "him" anymore
