This came up in yesterday's game: is it possible to intercept a handoff?

We decided it isn't so, since 'Intercepts' refere to passes, and a Handoff is distinctly not a pass, but I remember a discussion (either here or on BBT, or in lala land ) wherein it was determined that is is allowed.

The handoff would have to be diagonal in any case, since that's the only way the would-be interceptor, standing next to both opponents can be 'closer to the thrower than the catcher is, and closer to the catcher than the thrower'.

So, am I tripping again, or is this indeed legalized?

You're tripping.

Tripping. The previous discussion was regarding passes where the square the receiver and the catcher were on were adjacent to each other but a pass was being used (either because the handoff had already happened or the handoff was happening later).

Ah, that explains why I was confused.

Still, there's nothing like being able to send yourself into lalaland without any drugs whatsoever!
