During a pickleball game, a ball is hit from team A deep into team B’s court. The ball is contacted by a player on team B in an effort to return it and then, after the ball is on its way back across the court, the team B player yells “Out” to indicate that the ball was out of bounds which would then give team B the point.
Can a player call a ball out after contacting it in an effort to return it? Yes/No?
