---uhm.....if you catch the disc out of bounds....are you saying...that
there isn't a spot on the field that is CLOSER to where you are catching the
disc, than there is FURTHER away from you.
because...i gotta figure that there is some place on that field, that is
closer to you when you catch the disc OB than there is further from you.
pick the ONE PLACE, that is closest...and you have found where you need to
put your pivot foot.
