" The rules say "If a ball is advanced by an illegal spin the opposing team will have the option of continuing play from the current position or to serve the ball. "Without any further explanation one must assume this simply means "wherever the ball is" and does not imply that a player can physically pick it up or stop the ball "wherever it is" (bouncing, rolling, etc.) and play it from THERE. That is, the opposing team can either "play on", or stop play and take it on his/her five.The only thing that seems in question here (but doesn't seem to apply to your situation last night) is how long the opposing team has to claim the ball on their five. Obviously, if they make a play on it, it is obvious; but what if they let it roll around and let the other team swing at it?"
